"Excellent! Solo traveller last minute booking. Quaint, clean, location is close to all shops and restaurants so you can walk and not have to fight for a parking spot. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superb! They actually cook you breakfast instead of some cellophane wrapped muffins and fruit. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this hidden gem!"
