The Queens Hotel
Staff were polite and welcoming, the room was clean, although I got the family room which meant sound proofing wasn't great with the room next door and neighbour had the TV on very loud very late into the night. The gym was week equiped and clean

Great Victoria Hotel
Best thing about the stay was the breakfast which was well cooked and a generous portion. Unfortunately the room was disappointing, bed was uncomfortable, sheets were stained and the bathroom had no frosted glass or blinds, just a thin curtain, despite looking onto the main room. Lift was not working ...
