Charming Italian Getaway
super clean room friendly staff roomy bed
The room was super clean and featured new fixtures. The staff was friendly and accomodating. The restaurant offered excellent food. I found a bar and a breakfast room inside. The double bed was roomy and provided ample space.
The stairs to the second floor made it a little tricky getting up with suitcases.

average stay, some issues noted
convenient location bathroom modernisation
the location proved convenient.
The bathroom needed a deep clean and updating. I observed water marks and stains on the ceiling and wallpaper. the public areas felt tired and neglected, excluding the breakfast room in the restaurant. i believe the hotel offers poor value at the price of £125 per night for the room alone.
