Breakfast was great - lots of variety. Staff was friendly. The room was comfortable but the shower was a bit of a challenge. Scalding hot or too cool but a minor inconvenience. Close to town to enjoy a variety of restaurants and bars but far enough away for quiet evenings.

Parking was secured and close to the room. The room was clean and comfortable. Hot water and A/C were lovely. Although the area is walkable, it's not the safest street to walk on due to traffic.
