The staff were polite I noted. The food was excellent I thought. I liked the mozzarella and Gorgonzola cheese bites. The beef ribs were also amazing I found.
The room was dated it seemed. There was only one key I observed. I found there were not enough surfaces in the room to accommodate me.

The staff showed attentiveness. They helped me with directions to nearby attractions. The on-site parking provided convenience. I did not have to worry about finding a space elsewhere.
The carpet showed wear. I also observed paint peeling off surfaces in some areas. The floorboards in the corridor were creaky. This created some noise as other guests walked by.

The room was very clean. It was also large , easily accommodating two people. I found the shower to be great , offering good water pressure.
The room faced a busy road , which resulted in significant noise. The sash windows did not fit well , increasing the disturbance. Decor in the room was dated.
