Pros:

L'emplacement et l'accueil étaient appréciables

Cons:

Le manque de confort pour réduire la chaleur dans la chambre, un simple ventilateur n'est pas suffisant// Et le petit déjeuner trop simple et pas copieux pour le prix payé sans compter le temps d'attendre.

Did the job
Pros:

Reasonable hotel, good value and location. Shower pressure was mint, bed was comfy

Cons:

The floorboards and noise from guests on the floor above was a bit much and kept me up. Really needs better noise isolation from other rooms; might be better if you get a top floor room

Pros:

We booked Fri-Mon. The room we booked, The Lincoln Suite, was bright, large, had a balcony which was great. The food at the restaurant was really nice. Breakfast which was help yourself was very tasty.

Cons:

That the restaurant was closed on Sunday, plus it wasn't advertised anywhere that the breakfast on Monday was cooked to order.
