Pros:

Was given a free room upgrade, booked a tiny single-bed room, was given a massive room with a single and double bed with two chairs and a sink. I only booked this for a place to crash for a work trip and it was the cheapest option in the city center, but I would happily book again for a holiday. beautiful old tall windows, decorative fireplace, vaulted ceilings. Never stayed anywhere with a shared bathroom before but after this would happily do again, must have been cleaned at least daily.
There was always someone at reception no matter how late or early, efficient and kind staff offering to help with bags, check in/out took under a minute. FREE PARKING so so pleased with a parking spot off road reserved for me for my whole stay.

Cons:

Mattresses slightly uncomfortable but great duvets and pillows make up for it.

Was available when we needed somewhere
Pros:

Where I needed to be

Cons:

Has an overall sense of The Bates Motel.
Owners just sat in silence at a desk.
If you don’t book breakfast at time of booking room then you’ll have chance to change your mind. I was told they only buy food when someone previously requests it….suppose it reduces chance of waste
