Quiet Stay Near the Canal

friendly staffcanal locationclean roomconvenient parking
Staff was friendly. The location was near the canal. The room was clean. On-site parking added convenience. I was grateful for a phone message detailing access after hours, as my arrival was delayed until 2 am. A key was left in my room. I found my room comfortable. I will return.
The stair carpet had holes.

Service

Staff members were very friendly and cute upon arrival. Running a tab during the evening was simple. Staff assisted with bicycle storage in the garden, which I appreciated.
Location
8/10
The location was convenient, next to the canal. It was a short stroll from the center. This made exploring local attractions easy and convenient for a solo traveler.
Dining
10/10
The menu had a good range of dishes. The choice of ciders was refreshingly good. A limited, good quality breakfast was provided separately from their kitchen at a reasonable price.
