Pros:

Stayed here several times over the past 10 years when previous owner had the hotel. So, I knew it had car park at rear, decent rooms and well located for bus straight into centre of city which runs every 10-15mins.

Cons:

Doesn't look like much has been done to the rooms for many years, so looking a bit tired now and in need of redecoration. I didn't like that under new owners have to pre-order breakfast and agree timeslot the night before.

Cute hotel. Good value for money.
Pros:

It was a cute small hotel and pretty much everything we needed for our stay.

Cons:

The location was a bit of from the city centre, but there is a bus stop just opposite the hotel which took us directly to the city centre.
