The friendly staff, the room, the view, the pub, the location. They offered an early check-in (small fee), and also had a bag check so I could walk around town. I felt secure at night. The bar staff was kind enough to give me a glass full of ice...

In the heart of the Fringe action, this Inn was an oasis. Well appointed and a pub on the main level - it had everything we needed.
