Lovely hotel, friendly atmosphere, free wireless access, very good hotel to calm down and relax.

Owner curt to the point of rudeness when we arrived. Wi-fi advertised but only available by kitchen door. Shower minute. Breakfast poor using the cheapest of ingredients. Wanted to charge 2% for credit card use where no signs showd a charge would be made. Not acceptable in 2009.
