excellent stay near the centre
comfortable bedfriendly stafflimited parking
i found the bed comfortable. the shower was good, and the location was quiet. breakfast was a nice inclusion. the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. i appreciated their assistance with directions.
The limited parking was a slight inconvenience. Only three spots were available. it required a bit of planning to ensure i secured a space upon my return each evening. i wish there were clearer instructions on how to operate the heating system.
