Fairish.
Pros:

The decor and furnishings were excellent. It was good to have parking so central to the town centre.

Cons:

The breakfast was poor. I wanted a continental breakfast, but the cereal was very basic, only two choices, and there was no fruit or nuts to go with it.
i could not get the temperature of the shower above tepid/

Nice hotel and rooms are good standard. Late breakfast is an issue if you have to leave for work. Ear plugs needed.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable

Cons:

Industrial sized extraction chimney outside window that sounds like a jet engine until 10:30pm. Breakfast from 8am but nobody there until 8:30am so had to leave for work without breakfast.
