Management is fantastic and so incredibly helpful. It is a great stay for the price. Be aware the breakfast is continental. There is an upcharge for hot. I either missed that on Expedia, or Expedia doesn't make that clear. Not sure which. Pleasant stay.

Need to consider soundproofing
Friendly staff. The room was clean but cramped. Wifi was good. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was ok for the price. The wall between my room and the adjacent room was paper thin. I could hear my neighbour's TV and telephone calls as though we were in the same room. Soundproofing would make a big difference to the quality of the stay.

Bit expensive for offerings
Free parking was good but place is just very average bed and breakfast. We have been travelling for 5 weeks and taking all our accommodation into account this place was expensive for the facilities. Hosts are lovely and friendly though.

I only stayed one night but found it comfortable and well appointed for the price. It was conveniently situated. The plumbing was very noisy meaning that we all woke when the first person started washing.
