"Very clean room with lots of space. Dinner was absolutely superb. All three courses, worth staying at the hotel. Breakfast was very average the next morning which was disappointing especially after the night before. I had poached eggs and the yolk was almost hard and the sourdough dry without butter. The young lady serving was attentive and very polite. "
