This was not my first time here. i liked the pub food. the beer and cider tasted fresh. the staff were so nice and professional. the bus stop is a short walk away. It is super convenient to get around.
the beds were old, and i found them a bit uncomfortable. the towels were small. some cups had water residue at the bottom. i think the cleaning could be better.
