basic stay with some letdowns

old mattress underwhelming breakfast

the staff was friendly and cute, which i suppose is a plus.

The room i got felt more like a bedsit than a hotel room. the mattress was old, and i swear i could feel the springs trying to escape (it wasn't a pleasant sensation). also, breakfast was underwhelming. One sausage and one egg is hardly a feast.

The staff was helpful. They offered good service. The food was delicious. I appreciated the convenient car park at the rear. It made access very easy. Decor improvements created a cute environment. I hope to return next year.
