This property would berated a 2.5 star. The staff were great but everything is cheap in the room. My queen bed was made up of two cheap mattresses that were different heights. The single bed was cheap.
Location is good very walkable town.

This little family run establishment should be full each and every day. The rooms are spacious (there’s only 10) and super comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant downstairs - BEST meal we had on the trip. Absolutely loved our stay and we’re already planning our return trip!

Absolutely amazing staff from the minute we walked into the hotel. No elevator and we had very heavy bags so they delivered them to our door. We had to check out an hour before breakfast so they made us a fresh breakfast at 7:30am. Went to their bar and very friendly bartenders. Offered excellent suggestions for going around town. Parking was on street and super convenient. Hotel was very clean and looked recently updated. Definitely 5 star for us!

Room was comfortable. Had a good stay, not in the bar/business area but very walkable (minutes) which is nice if you want to relax earlier in the evening. That being said, found some great pubs with live music easily. Breakfast was excellent!
