The staff allowed bicycle storage in a function room upon arrival. They were helpful . The food tasted very good, and I found the rooms clean. The hotel provided locked storage for my bicycle overnight.. a nice touch.
The front bedroom experienced notable street noise, impacting sleep quality. A bus stop right outside meant conversations were easily audible.

inadequate shower headweedy pots
The shower head provided an inadequate stream. It took an excessive amount of time to complete a simple shower. the Sunday meal did not meet expectations. I chose to dine elsewhere the following day. The weeds observed in the pots near the entrance detracts from the overall appearance. The pub closed prematurely, despite the presence of patrons who were willing to spend more.
