Wonderful Furnishings and Superb Breakfast

beautiful furnishingscomfy bedhelpful stafflimited parking
The building presents beautiful furnishings. I found the bed and linens very comfy. The room offered simple, tasteful decor. It was spotlessly clean. I found the staff attentive and helpful.
There was very limited parking at the hotel. Roadside parking was permissible only between 6 PM and 9 AM. This meant using a nearby public car park requiring payment.

the breakfast was amazing. Such a hearty and good start to each day. the staff were friendly. Especially one named olivia. she.
I noticed very limited parking at the location. It was permissible on the road outside but only between 6pm and 9am. this meant the only other parking was at a nearby public car-park where you had to pay. it was a bit of a nuisance.
