hot optionstown centerparking accesscold roomterrible racketbathroom fan
The breakfast was good. I enjoyed the hot options available each morning. The location is excellent, a short walk to the town center. Staff kindly allowed us to use the parking while we were on a day trip. It was very helpful.
I found the room quite cold. The heating seemed to turn off at night. The fan in the bathroom made a terrible racket when turned on. It was quite disturbing when trying to relax.
