nice cooked optionloud springshot water
Breakfast included a nice cooked option.
The bed was not good at all. I could feel the springs, and it made a LOT of noise when my husband moved. The shower was also slow and only put out hot water, it was difficult to adjust.

Fantastic Stay, Definitely Coming Back!
fresh breakfasthelpful staffclean roomgreat location
The breakfast was generous and fresh. I really liked that staff members were very helpful and kind. The room was super clean and very comfortable, and I slept soundly. The location is great. It is near an excellent local bus line and close to the city center (, made getting around super easy!).
The street was fairly quiet, but I could hear some cars passing due to the old windows. This wasn't a major issue, though.

The breakfast included freshly cooked options that were prepared with attention to detail, and the breakfast room was well kept and comfortable. I especially loved the locally sourced ingredients (the jams were a treat!).
