Excellent Stay

helpful communicationsroomy bathroom
The hotel communications were cute and helpful. I checked in earlier because the room was ready. I appreciated the landlady allowed this as I wanted to explore the area. The room and bed were simple and clean. The bathroom was roomy and had a good hot shower. White fresh towels and bed linen were provided.

The dining area looked immaculate with clean bright table linen. Breakfast was optional. I regret not signing up for it after visiting a grubby shop nearby.

The room was a Double Room Private Bathroom. The provided breakfast was tasty and abundant. I also found that the staff was very friendly and accommodating to all my requests.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear noise from other rooms. The shower pressure was inconsistent. The provided towels had some stains.

Acceptable Hotel Experience

The room was equipped with a shower with excellent pressure. The hotel offered convenient access to the nearby Platform theatre. The room itself provided comfort.
The owners was not available when I needed assistance. It was hard to get extra coffee and tea. The bar area resembled a kitchen.

The shower had issues , it turned very hot quickly. The water ran out within a short time , about 5 minutes. I found this inconvenient.
