"Room was fresh clean and spacious. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast adequate...often run low on items so had to wait for food items, cups, glasses to be replenished. Slow clearing of tables. Restaurants good quality menu though not an extensive choice. Partner used pool but said very busy and noisy with lots of kids. Very much family orientated so not as relaxing as other hotels. Bar area spacious but lacks atmosphere"

"Street parking right in front was very convenient and free. You're right in the middle of a square, so there's lots of pubs and convenience stores within walking distance. The hotel was lovely and the room was really nice. The bed was very comfortable. The room was cold when we arrived, but warmed up in no time once we turned up the radiator. Friendly staff as well. My only upset was that breakfast didn't start until 9am and we had to leave by 8am, so we lost out on that unfortunately."
