perfect for a Short Getaway

polite waiter relaxing atmosphere plenty parking

i found the breakfast and evening meal to be a great choice and waiting times were minimal, that was super. polite staff members always serve you. the restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere and plays music during breakfast. Parking spaces are always available, that is a great bonus.

the shower cubicle was surprisingly small. the bedroom walls seemed quite thin, allowing noise from the next room. Finding the 'please do not disturb' sign was difficult because it was not near the door.

tiny room lukewarm breakfast

the bed was big and seemed comfortable enough.

the room they gave me, a 'small double room', it was not small, it was tiny. i swear, i almost tripped over my own suitcase just trying to get to the miniscule bathroom. the restaurant, served me a lukewarm breakfast that was just disappointing.
