Overall ok but would consider staying somewhere else next time
Pros:

Good location. Pleasant staff.

Cons:

Our room was at the back along a dark grubby alley way. Not a nice introduction to a good property. Ok once in room. Just needs a white paint and maybe some tubs of plants or something to make it a better entry

Good value older property.
Pros:

The hotel was available! The room was very large. The bed was comfortable. We had two double beds but only used one.

Cons:

I needed a powerpoint for my CPAP machine. I normally sleep on the other side of the bed but had to sleep on the side with the power point. I actually liked sleeping on that side for a change but that may be difficult for other people
The floor in the bathroom, when wet after a shower, was very slippery.
