The room and areas were fine. The reception was poor. It would have been wonderful if someone would have been at reception or at the pub area to greet us when we arrived. And if we could have left our bags while seeing the town.

Property is alright but they were inflexible about things like leaving baggage and being able to hang around after the very early checkout. Could have also been friendlier.

Scary stairs, no lift

Third floor, spiral staircase, no elevator. Pre-booking information should give these warnings. We are 72 and 83 years old and had to take those stairs very slowly, holding onto the rail with two hands, to be sure to avoid falling. Breakfast service comes in a paper bag outside the door at 7:30. Rooms are drab. No washcloth provided. The hotel is a block away from the main shopping and dining street, and that possibly justifies the rate, but I cannot recommend this property to weary travelers.
This was taken from the landing at the top of the second level of the staircase. The man is over 6 feet tall.
