adequate stay
free bike hire onsite parking good coffee thin wall small bathroom outdated tv
The free bike hire was a great way to explore. i used one to visit the nearby shops. onsite free parking was also fantastic. I didn't have to worry about finding a spot. the coffee in the room was really good (i enjoyed it every morning).
The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations next door. the bathroom was small. the tv was outdated and had two remotes. It took some effort to figure out. (i finally gave up)
