“I found the rooms here to be quite spacious and thoughtfully appointed, a comfortable modern retreat. While a bit outside the immediate town center, the convenient bus pass and quiet surroundings make it a sensible base for exploring. It's clear a good deal of care has gone into the renovations, particularly the welcoming private courtyards.”
