Pros:

Really good sized room, with small kitchenette and lovely bathroom. Off street parking in this area was handy, but fills up quickly. Restaurant downstairs was amazing for breakfast.

Cons:

Relatively good soundproofing, except bus stop out front caused us to wake throughout the night in our top floor, street facing room from shuddering and shaking as the buses went past.

Lovely hotel, comfortable and clean, with friendly and helpful staff!
Pros:

Unfortunately I spent very little time in the hotel, late night to early morning. However, there was great communication with the staff regarding my late check in and it was very smooth. Staff at the main reception desk were very friendly the following morning as well. The room was very clean, very comfortable, with a lovely bathroom as well.

Cons:

N/A Didn’t have enough time to find anything I didn’t like, and everything I did experience was great!
