FABULOUS stay!
friendly staff great food decorated room great breakfast
The staff were AMAZING , always friendly and ready to help. The restaurant impressed me. Food tasted great with fantastic service. I stayed in a nicely decorated room. It had everything i needed. Breakfast was a GREAT start to the day. It provided plenty of choices.
The room was quite basic , especially considering the price i paid for a single night , MAYBE other rooms are more worth it.

Adequate Accommodation
friendly staff good food drain smell small shower
The staff was very friendly. The food was really good! Parking was easy to find. We were greeted by a friendly staff member. They checked us in fast and took us to our room.
The bathroom had a drain smell. The shower room felt small. A mat for the dog bed would have been useful, especially since it was a dog friendly room. a bin near the garden for dog waste would be handy.

Mixed Experience, Some Issues
shower design large key block
The shower design was a problem. There was no door, so water splashed all over the bathroom floor when I used it. This made it quite inconvenient. The room keys were attached to a very large block. It was hard to fit it in my pocket. I found this annoying. I was hoping for a better experience considering the price.
