the location is great. breakfast was the best in the area! i found the room quite comfortable and of a nice size. the free parking on site was a big bonus!
I found a very unfriendly arrival. It wasn't great! i was left to switch on lights in the dining room. also, there was no soap in containers in the shower room. Apply, twice.

undercooked sausagesnon-functional remote
My stay began promisingly, yet some aspects disappointed me. I found the cooked breakfast rather poor. The sausages seemed undercooked, and the bacon was too salty. I would have expected more attention to detail in the meal's preparation. the television remote in the room did not function properly. I had to manually change the channels, rather inconvenient. This issue marred an otherwise pleasant experience.
