A few improvements, this would be an excellent place.

7.0

Great location for us, restaurant was nice.

Room was too small, couldn't get around the bed or fully open bathroom door. The poor waitress doing breakfast was run off her feet, not all items were available, even though there were empty tables, a walk in was turned away being told they were fully booked. It didn't seem very well organised and felt chaotic, not relaxing at all.
