old fashioned charm, convenient location, reasonably priced, friendly staff, good food on site

Molly United States of America

All the staff without exception were polite and friendly and couldn't do enough to help; from the cleaning ladies to the bar staff and waiting table staff to reception they all went the extra mile. I will definitely book another stay simply because of the staff.
