Charming Stay, Solid Value!
cooked breakfastclean roomcentral location
The home-cooked breakfast was a highlight EVERY morning. I found the large room (it had a bay window!) clean. I really appreciated the central location, it gave me a great view of the town's main Street. Complimentary guest beer awaited me in the room upon arrival.
I noticed that the parking spaces were sometimes limited, especially during peak hours.
Location
9/10
The hotel is situated in the heart of the town, near all the main attractions and public transport links. It offers convenient access to local shops and restaurants, with many options within walking distance.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast included freshly cooked options, such as eggs and bacon, served in a cozy dining area. The staff happily accommodated requests for variations like different egg styles (scrambled!). Generous portions were a pleasant surprise.

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Aspects
central locationshabby roomloud music
The location was quite central. The parking was good.
The room needed a better clean. I do not think it had seen a duster in a while. Loud music continued until 2 AM every night, it meant little sleep. The clientele was rowdy and very awful.
