The hotel boasts a great location that makes it easy to explore nearby restaurants without the need for a drive. The rooms are mostly clean and well-maintained, although I did find an open soda can in the cupboard, which was off-putting. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to assist us. However, the noise starting at 4 am from other guests was quite disturbing, and I wish the room's cleanliness had been more consistent.

I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the friendly staff made me feel right at home. The location is fantastic, with plenty of dining options within walking distance. However, the breakfast time could start a bit earlier to accommodate early risers. While the amenities are solid, I did notice that the TV in the room was a bit on the smaller side which might be an issue for some. Overall, it’s a great experience for the price!
