Charming Stay
convenient locationhelpful stafffirm mattress
I found the location convenient. The staff was really helpful. A young man immediately changed our room to the ground floor when he knew my husband needed it because of a hip replacement. The overall pub had a good vibe. The room was also clean.
The mattress in our room was very firm, it made sleep difficult. One pillow was also quite firm, but the other was very thin and provided little support, so I had a broken night's sleep. I hope they can replace them soon .
