"The hotel is in a good central location, the bedroom was comfy room and well equipped, The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly, there is a nice nice bar and breakfast area. Only problem was our room faced onto a side street with several businesses operating so there was a lot of early morning noise, so if considering staying I would choose a different room for that reason."
