Me friend and I, along with his very large dog, stayed here as a stop-over while walking the John Muir Way and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The room was clean and very comfortable with a powerful shower which was appreciated after a long day walking. In particular, all the staff were superb, so kind, friendly and helpful. We bombarded them with requests - Can we send luggage ahead? Can you collect the luggage from the taxi? Is it OK if we arrive quite late at night? Can we change from a double to a twin? Can you help us order a taxi for a large dog? etc - and everything was handled as if it was no problem whatsoever. We were also very happy to find the bar still open and buzzing with friendly locals when we arrived knackered at about 10.30 pm!
10 minutes walk from the city center, the room is relatively simple, towels, slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, there is a shared kitchen, you can make a light meal, overall the location is good.
