10/10 Excellent
"Excellent staff. Basic breakfast but itā€™s free. Limited options. Staff was helpful and kind all around. I donā€™t know what is on the second floor but furniture was always being dragged on the floor or moved at all sorts of time in the morning and night. Maybe construction? But lovely stay."
