Acceptable Stay with Room for Improvement
friendly staff good breakfast quiet location old equipment non-functional wifi poor soundproofing
The breakfast was fine (there was a good selection of pastries). Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was quiet and relaxing, great for a peaceful getaway.
The gym equipment was old and needed maintenance. The advertised WiFi didn't work during my entire stay, frustrating.

sewage smell loud neighbors
i was pretty annoyed. there was a sewage smell in the room i had to put up with. it was really strong when you walked in the door, but luckily it got a little better once you were in there for a bit. also, the people next door were super loud late at night, banging doors all the time. i told them to keep it down because of my kid, but it didnt stop them from running around.

Wonderful short break
great food amazing team good communication
Everything for a short break was here. The restaurant provided amazing food for both breakfast and dinner. One of the best meals I had ever eaten was at this hotel. The staff and communication was great too.
It listed a pool but the pool had been removed. This meant there are very little other facilities at the hotel.
