Comfortable Stay with Original Features

warm room friendly staff
I had a nice warm room and found the original features well retained. The staff was friendly and helpful . Breakfast was excellent with a good selection. I found on-site parking convenient.
The toilet made a loud noise when flushed and while showering. I think this is because of the plumbing.
