The room was clean and nicely furnished. Access to the train station, town, and bus routes was very easy. I found parking on the residential streets with no trouble.

The room décor is quite dated.

Breakfast included toast with jams and butter. coffee served in an individual cafetiere. The toast was thick and crunchy. It was a nice touch. I appreciated the option for a cooked breakfast to order.

good breakfast welcome breakfast wonderful host friendly host hotel key room key shared bathroom dirty bathroom difficult parking limited parking space issue parking space

I found the breakfast to be very good. It was a simple but welcome start to the day. the host was also quite wonderful. she was warm and friendly while still respecting my privacy and space. i also appreciated the key, which allowed me to come and go as i pleased.

the shared bathrooms needed some updating. i also found them a bit dirty. parking was difficult since there is no parking available at the hotel. the streets nearby made it hard to find a space.
