a really good stay

local artworklarge portionslimited parking
My room, a beautiful king room, featured art work from a local gallery. the room had a settee and a chair along with two tvs. I found this very accommodating. the breakfast was amazing!!! portions were large and the quality of ingredients was evident.
I noticed that parking was limited. The hotel's car park could only accommodate three medium sized cars. street parking was at a premium, which posed a bit of a challenge.
Service

the staff provided excellent service, attending to every need with super efficiency. they maintained a perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. their cute and polite demeanour contributed significantly to my experience.
