Tv in room did not work, shower was barely a dribble, no hairdryer in room, did ask about one but they said no, beds were terrible, broken springs, very thin, see through curtains which are no use in summer, too light to sleep. Nobody there when we checked out so had to leave key on a table. However, the room itself was clean, the fan was very welcome as room was so hot, the water was a nice touch, but would not recommend staying there

Great people, not a great room

The staff were great (friendly, helpful, accommodating), but the room was not. The Inn is 8 rooms over a bar, which means that you will hear bar music and patrons until the bar closes at midnight. The windows are not sealed well, so street noise seeps into the room easily. That means resting hours are 12am-6am or 7am. The radiators and mattresses are very old, which means that the mattresses lack any comfort or support and the radiators regularly make loud noise. The box spring was completely broken on my bed. Despite the great staff and cleanly room, I would not stay again.
