I felt like the rooms were well provided and comfortable, even though mine was towards the back of the building which meant no outside view and no parking space. The location, however, was great with a lovely, quiet, clean area of town in walking distance to everywhere. The service was courteous and very helpful, especially with the restaurant offering to serve breakfast at 6 in the morning. The dining experience was just okay, with a little limited breakfast buffet. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
