Close and walkable to the pizzeria, bar and grocery shop so we chose it for proximity. It was reasonable value but with no thick blanket, only a thin sheet, we were cold sleeping.

I was in town for one night and didn't spend much time in the room, but it was clean & spacious. I liked that it was close to where I needed to be, but far enough away to be quiet. The staff was very friendly and I would stay here again.
