What hotel does not have coffee in the morning?? The "Out of Order" sign looked like it had been there awhile. I like to give independent hotel owners a shot when I am traveling alone, my wife refuses for just the experience I had here. I will say everything was clean, but the sky blue walls gave me a little bit of a hospital feel!

The hotel offered good value for money. Some areas such as stair carpets are a little worse for wear and the breakfast could be improved but it was certainly worth the money

Great location. Currently being renovated but they were careful to give only rooms far enough from the work that we didn’t hear any of it. Staff was so nice. Would stay again.
