The room is very sparsely furnished. The mattress feels like it’s very old, breakfast was poor at best and the only coffee available at breakfast was instant. The staff was friendly. We will not stay there again

The place is lovely and the staff do polite. It is an older building so there are some quirks but we had a wonderful stay. The water was hot, bed comfy and everything to our needs. Breakfast was basic but good. The staff really made it, they clearly love the place and their customers.
