The Argos Inn is a unique and charming place to stay, providing a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, despite some noise issues from the street. The staff members are dedicated and attentive, making sure guests feel well taken care of. However, the noise levels can be disruptive, especially if you're given a room near the street. Additionally, the breakfast options could use some improvement, as they are quite limited. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking for character and comfort.
