10/10 Excellent

This is a well maintained , refreshed quiet spot for a very comfortable rest. Good mattress, windows that open or AC if you want it. Nice size rooms for all your stuff, good lighting and plugs if you need to work. Nice bits and pieces of thoughtful extras that other big chain hotels are no longer doing. Clearly a small property that is doing well from the hard work being put into it by the family that runs it. I will be staying again!
