charming stay

central location rustic features bottled water quality products

I enjoyed the central location. It was quite convenient. the traditional rustic features added character like the internal courtyard and original beams! i found thoughtful touches, like complimentary iced and bottled water. the high-quality showering products were also a nice surprise. we loved the well stocked bar, it was great.

the carpet leading to the rooms looked very tired. it didn't make a good first impression and the room wasn't any different. it could use a refurbishment to justify the price. the shower was also tiny.

nice room good space helpful staff tired carpet bad impression high price

I found my room quite nice. It had plenty of space and good furnishings. The staff gave me advice on places for me to eat, I found that helpful.

The carpet up to the rooms looked very tired. It did not give a good first impression. The rooms need a refurbishment to justify the prices charged, in my opinion.
