Just Okay, I Guess
helpful advicelimited parkinginconvenient door
The staff offered helpful advice regarding local attractions.
The parking situation was not ideal. I had to park down the street. My room was quite small. The bathroom door did not close properly. You really had to force it shut, which wasn't convenient, was it?

excellent stay
good locationtasty breakfastliving roomawkward space
The hotel is well located between two main spots. The breakfast had tasty food and good variety. I stayed in the attic suite and it included a living room. It was nice.
I found that the bedroom space was somewhat awkward. The bedside tables were unsteady cake stands. There was not much space to put my things. The room lacked a coffee table also.
Location

The hotel has a superb location, quite close to local attractions. There are many shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. It is easy to reach by car with available parking, though the streets nearby are sometimes busy.
