amazing history friendly staff super clean beds perfect location limited parking noise issue
the building has an amazing history. the staff was friendly. the location was perfect with a quick walk into town. the beds were super clean
i found that the parking is very limited. i learned that the nearest available parking is a 10 minute walk away. i was told this isn't ideal when carrying bags. i could hear everything in other rooms that are above me because the building is old.

lacking information missing menu
The staff were pleasant and they worked hard so we were comfortable.
The room lacked basic information. There was no Wi-Fi code, restaurant menu, or kitchen timings. I stayed on the 3rd floor, and I had to go up and downstairs twice just to find basic information. This information is normally found in a little folder. I was very disappointed.

The bathroom was a major letdown. the shower temperature was difficult to adjust. It was either scalding hot or freezing cold. the extractor fan also ran constantly. i found only one earl grey tea bag and one fruit tea bag, not sufficient.
