on-site parkingquality foodtwin room
The on-site parking was useful. The food I ate was good quality, especially if ordered before 8pm. My room was a twin room.
The bar could get busy and have only one person serving at times.

acceptable stay with some issues

convenient locationnoise disturbancecold steak
the inn allowed me to walk directly from its location without needing to use my car.
The noise levels at night made sleep difficult. I suspect there was a communal toilet or a fire door upstairs that repeatedly slammed shut for hours. also, the steak i ordered arrived cold.
