Friendly and welcoming staff. shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast is a separate charge on Sundays. Room needed dusting, the bed not that comfortable, drafty windows and the heater/radiator would "bang" whenever it turned off.

I was under the impression that the continental breakfast came with the room price, I was unpleasantly surprised when I had to pay $50 extra dollars for a breakfast I had already expected to have available to me with the price of the room. That really bothered me.
