Loved the friendliness of the front desk, how large our room was which was perfect for the four of us sharing a room, and that there was hot breakfast with a waffle maker. The rooms could do with a bit of updating as they are slightly dark and the carpet may be a little dingy. Though we didn’t have time to use it, we loved that there was laundry available on site.
