The bathroom felt spacious. the shower had hot water with good pressure. the staff were friendly. I liked that. the pub next door felt cute. i got some good food there. the room had explanations on how to get around town as well as recommendations. i really enjoyed the bus routes nearby and found them very handy. i felt looked after throughout my stay, but left alone to enjoy my trip, which i liked. i would go back for sure.
The tv didn't work properly. pillows were cheap. That was a letdown.
