A pleasant overnight stay
Pros:

The bathroom was safe to use. The bedroom was well-located at the back of the hotel and clean. The hotel was well located in town, with easy access to other amenities.

Cons:

I feel the Bush Hotel has lost its personal touch now that it is owned by a new Capital Management Company.
