Great location, pleasant hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was adequate and had no issues. Service was good also from staff. Enjoy the festival that was on at the time. Quiet enough town when out of season.

Cons:

When first entering our room there was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke. Was told there was a stag party on the night before, it ruined our first few hours of the trip.

Great location in the centre of town.
Pros:

Really nice breakfast buffet. It's an older hotel, rooms are basic but clean. Nice fresh towels.

Cons:

Just to be aware there are no lifts so you carry your luggage upstairs.
