comfortable bedroom fast wifi air conditioning warm temperature
My stay included a really comfortable bedroom, it had everything I needed for the night. The food in the bar and restaurant was nice and breakfast tasted the best I've had for a while.
I found the air conditioning a bit of a problem. The staff seemed to not be in control of it and it was either too cold or too warm

Minor Disappointment During My Stay

The room was clean upon arrival.
There was no draft ale available. This was quite disappointing since it is a pub. It lessened my experience at this hotel.
