Adequate Stay

friendly staffconvenient locationroad noiselimited breakfast
The staff was friendly and helpful at check-in. The room was super clean and contained all essential amenities. I found the location quite convenient, as it provided easy access to nearby attractions. The on-site pub also offered a pleasant dining experience.
The room was smaller than I expected. The noise from the nearby road was noticeable, particularly during peak hours. I also found the breakfast selection somewhat limited. The absence of air conditioning was a slight discomfort during warmer weather.

quick greetingconvenient parkinghelpful stafftraffic noisestuffy roomno fan
The staff greeted me quickly. They directed me to my room because my hands were full. The bar man had kindly given me a pint of water. She even opened the door for me. I also liked the convenient parking.
The room faced the road and I could hear cars, even with the window closed. Closing the window made the room stuffy. I think a small fan to circulate air would help. The traffic noise was noticeable.
