It had promise, and the bed was comfortable, but everything else was below par. Do not recommend.
Pros:

Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

One towel and no washcloths in the bathroom
Pub was dirty -- tables still sticky from the night before when I went in for breakfast
Food was poorly presented, and not worth what you paid for it. If you don't know how to make something, don't put it on the menu.
