Great stay in good location with restaurant and bar facilities. Secure parking and excellent customer service.
Pros:

Loved the location, ambiance, staff and service.
Restaurant and bar were handy and open till 10pm. Meals were delicious. Bar staff are excellent and happy to be there.
Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

Room was a bit dated and some fixtures need repair. Basic Cleaning could improve, walls with marks and bathroom wall tiles cloudy however the rooms are old and cleaning would be difficult and time consuming.
