Lovely staff. Clean room. More coffees would've been good but i feel I could've asked for more if it wasn't 5 am! The bed needs updating...roll together going on but it did the trick and we will definitely stay again.

Excellent place to stay, only drawback is the paper thin walls so if you have loud neighbors, you'll hear everything (we had a snorer)....owner is great, very nice
