spacious room helpful staff warm breakfast convenient parking
the beautiful double room was very spacious and had a lovely little sitting area. the staff was very helpful, they are happy to assist with anything you need. breakfast in the morning reminded me of a warm hug, everything was made with care. i found parking very convenient, right outside the door.
the stairs to my room were a little narrow, it was just a small thing with luggage.

good food nice feel adequate size small room glass shelf attic room
the room was a good size. it had everything i needed. the whole place had a nice, homely feel to it. the food was good, i found that to be quite pleasing.
the room was an attic room and was quite small. it was very difficult to wash in the sink because of a glass shelf over it. you could easily hit your head trying to wash, or you would soak the bathroom floor.

My room had a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions. The location was convenient for accessing local transportation (it's always good to have an easy commute).
The breakfast offered limited options. The television in my room did not work . The noise from the street at night made it difficult to sleep (earplugs would be recommended).
