excellent host regular bus
Kevin was an excellent host! he served us a good coffee while our room was being cleaned on our early arrival so we could check in and freshen up! the hotel is near the bus stop. Regular busses will bring you to city central in about 10 minutes.
the cooked breakfast portions were slightly small.
