Great value hotel, within walking distance of city centre
Pros:

Convenient location. Excellent value for money.
Hearty breakfast. Spacious room.

Cons:

There was no mirror above the dressing table. Needed a socket near to the wall mirror so you can see to style hair with hair drier/ straightners etc.
