"Have just spent a night there and found it a great place to stay. One block away from the main square so handy to most things. The rooms are nice and bed was comfortable. My initial room was on the second floor sharing a wall with the gym so a little noisy but the staff were really helpful and organised a quieter room to move to. Dinner was great with a big selection on the menu and Breakfast was also good with plenty to choose from. Overall a great stay and I’ll be back."
