Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room here (room #1) was a good size, clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was, given my previous experiences with rooms over bars and restaurants, so that was nice. The continental breakfast was included, but I don’t remember seeing anything vegan, so I really didn’t partake of anything but coffee and juice. I arrived on Sunday afternoon, when it appeared that lots of people were just finishing up with Sunday lunch, so I got the last parking spot, but that probably wouldn’t have been an issue at other times. I didn’t have a meal or drinks here, but it looks like a nice little place. I didn’t have much contact with staff, other than a quick check in and check out, but the people I did see were very friendly. Overall I would recommend a stay here.
