excellent breakfast cooked breakfast good policy single beds noisy music horizontal sleep
The breakfast was excellent. It was cooked to my liking. I found it was quite at night. No dogs were allowed, and I found that a good policy.
Two single beds were put together. I could not even sleep on it. It was so noisy with the music. I had to lay horizontal to sleep in the bed.

unusable radiator tiny bathroom
the room was clean with everything i needed for a short stay.
The radiator did not work despite informing the staff twice. they said it was on a timer or tried to adjust it from the kitchen, but i remained cold throughout the night. the bathroom was also small. At 120lbs, i struggled to use the toilet because the radiator handle obstructed it.

Wonderful Stay With Excellent Service
spacious room cooked options
The room was spacious, and it featured a very comfortable bed. I appreciated the hearty breakfast. It included a wide range of cooked options. The waitress service was friendly. It.
The shower had noticeably little water pressure, a minor inconvenience. It made the shower less refreshing than I would have liked.

Dinner in the restaurant was superb. I particularly enjoyed the 'early bird' menu. Breakfast was also excellent and piping hot. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly. The chef even prepared a special pasta dish for my grandson.
