While rooms need updating, the exceptional service, especially the staff's willingness to assist with local advice and even retrieve forgotten items, stands out.

The location proved convenient for accessing local amenities.

The room felt cramped. I barely managed to move around. Street noise was a real issue. I heard constant commotion. Sleep became a challenge!

adequate stay in central location

central locationfriendly staffworn furnishingoutdated shower

The hotel's central location suited my needs. it's on the main street, so it was close to everything i needed. The staff was friendly, helpful .

The furnishings seemed worn and the bed linen wasn't the best. the shower was over the toilet and could use an update. It felt a little outdated, though.
