Sent a text message at 1pm for check in. Unlocked door of room, Key was in room with receipt. Large plasma tv with Netflix for some down time watching. Queen bed with a fold out bed from the couch. So perfect for a couple night accommodation. New bathroom and shower. Fridge, microwave and jug for boiling water in a small straight kitchen bench with tap and sink. Easy parking. Honestly great little hotel for 2 or 3 people if you want a cheap couple nights stay. Close to the Main Street. Everything I needed for a 2 night stay.

There is a very good Italian restaurant only 5 minutes walk away in the same street. Parking area is large and even has EV charging points. Very good value for money.
