Very nice Location and Service!

friendly staff beautiful view
The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views from the room. I loved the ease of parking, a welcome bonus. The menu featured good variety and the selection of beers on draught was excellent!
The heating was not directly controllable, only allowing for a "one hour boost," and it was very cold in the morning. I really needed more control.

the curtains in the room were thin. the bed was a standard double size. i felt more of a guest house vibe than a hotel atmosphere.
