We had a great stay. The room was modest, as expected, and very clean. The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming and helped us get set up with the laundry. There was fresh milk in our fridge for coffee - a nice surprise.

Our short one night stay was comfortable, clean and the room well appointed even though slightly dated. Bedding was good. And staff had turned on the heating for our arrival on a cold wet windy afternoon which was a nice touch. The checkin staff were friendly and helpful.
