Central Location
Pros:

Comfortable bed, pleasant bar area. Good breakfast. There was no restaurant but staff were happy to recommend and direct to suitable eating spots locally. Very central location - short walk to castle/cathedral/pubs/restaurants etc.

Cons:

Curtains were marked and did not block out light from floodlights on front of hotel - needed replacing.

Would have been a excellent place to stay had it not been for the overnight noise
Pros:

The location was excellent, right next to city centre

Cons:

The continuous over night noise from extraction fans / motors running outside our room made for a sleepless night 😡

Great location if you want to make use of the railway
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable and well equipped. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent. Very good location for the town and railway station.

Cons:

The bathroom could do with an upgrade but it was perfectly adequate. We had trouble getting to the carpark but I think this was more down to the current building work taking place.
