superb choice cheerful staff helpful staff empty restaurant long wait late arrival

The breakfast had a superb choice and the staff was cheerful. The staff was very helpful. It was a first class hotel situated in the main square.

The restaurant felt empty when we arrived. Someone carrying plates said someone would be with us. We sat down to wait.

The hotel offers ample free parking with easy access. The provided breakfast was first class. The location is right in the town square, convenient for shopping and dining.

The room door rattled when people used the outside door. The stairs creaked loudly with every footstep. The toilet in the room above was easily heard.

noisy room unavailable drink

the breakfast choice was fabulous (i liked the waffles).

the hotel was disappointing, especially compared to other coaching inns group hotels i've visited. on arrival, i was told i had been upgraded, but i heard almost everyone else got the same 'upgrade'. the room was next to the reception, so it was noisy. many drinks were not available at the bar.
