Its a pub with rooms not a chain hotel so that's what to expect. Very handy for the town and the nearby air base. No fuss check in or out. Pub area looked good with a mixture of bar area and slightly more relaxed seating area.

Imagine you’re an adventurer in an RPG video game. This is the inn. Exactly what I wanted. It’s cozy and warm. BTW parking is in the back , you have to drive around the block and take that one way street Angels cafe is on.
