Staff was helpful with directions. Breakfast included fresh fruit. I enjoyed the steak night promotion. It featured locally sourced ingredients. I found ample parking behind the building.

The emergency lighting was too bright for comfortable sleep.

Average Stay with a Few Issues

bright lightingcramped room

The access to the room through the yard proved inconvenient, especially given the weather. I booked a double room but it felt cramped. Emergency lighting in the room shone too brightly. a skylight lacked a blind. This affected sleep. The food was atrocious. It included mushrooms like rubber and sauce from a packet.
