Basic accommodation with a wonderful receptionist
Pros:

Exceptionally friendly and helpful receptionist - her can-do attitude and kind personality really lifts this basic hotel.
Free parking and they arranged car hire for us

Cons:

Noisy pump (water pump?) kept us awake at night and woke us in the morning
