Welcoming hotel,
Pros:

Room was great. Good size.
Good selection at breakfast
Gentleman that checked us in was great and made some good recommendations for the local area

Cons:

Plastic cutlery and very small paper plates and bowls at breakfast in a room that really felt like a canteen in the army! This really took the enjoyment out of breakfast. Changing this would make the experience significantly better
And the toaster had no handles on the leavers and was very difficult to use.
