A good stay, nice size room and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Plenty of parking and not too noisy for the proximity to the road. A shout out and recommendation for Kevin's corner Irish pub, a five minute walk away and excellent drinks and food (pub food). The owner Kevin was a delight. Breakfast back at the Circle lacked variety but was adequate.
