Lovely stay
Perfect accommodation for me and my pup. Plenty of space to walk and close to everything. They allowed an early check in which really saved us from being stuck in the pouring rain.

The breakfast was OK enough. My only real problem was TV issues and when I sit in the room for 3-4 hours with TV issues I struggle to say I had a good stay.
The manager was very pleasant and friendly which helped.

The clerk was friendly. But the heater in the room was noisy, the water tasted awful, and there was no hair dryer in the room. Breakfast was skimpy. Bread for toast, some yogurt, coffee wasn't hot and probably made from the awful water.

Just an overnight stay on my way south. Very comfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly. Wish the pillows were bigger and more comfortable. Would stay here again. Breakfast was OK.
