Excellent location! Staff were friendly. Breakfast options did not change, yet were good. Request a room in the main building rather than the annex…4 stars on some aspects rather than 5 due to staying in a small basement room in the annex- that needs to be defined more in the advertisement. Would stay the same way again though- due to price AND location!
