On arrival receptionist/owner said room fee was higher than fee listed on our hotels.com confirmed booking email. We showed owner email but they were not interested in our confirmed booking email or in helping resolve issue by discussion with hotels.com. We did persist with our point several times but not in a rude manner. We finally reluctantly agreed to their terms because it was late and we had no where else to go. Later that night the receptionist's husband/owner rang me (accusing me of bullying his wife) in an arrogant, harassing and bullying manner and hanging up before allowing me to speak to tell my side of the event. I rang back but again he was bullying and hung up before I could speak. Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle black. It was very disappointing that were unwilling to provide any assistance.

Stayed one night. Lovely staff and clean room. Slept well and was woken by water leak from ceiling to bed mattress. It was from heavy raining. Hopefully it’s fixed by now. Will stay again when passing through this town.

The property was centrally located and within easy walking distance to everything. HOWEVER the gentleman on duty the morning we checked out was extremely rude and condescending. The internet was deplorable and not available and when we mentioned that, the gentleman got very defensive to the point of being aggressive. Left us with a very uncomfortable feeling.
