friendly staffbar noiselimited food
The owners and staff were friendly. I had a drink with some of the locals in the hotel bar. Everyone was friendly.
My room was directly above the bar area. It appears the bar has become the local pub. I was unable to sleep until after 12:30 due to the noise from downstairs. There was a very limited evening food choice.
