Excellent location for our visit.
Pros:

Location excellent because we were going to a concert and it was 10 minutes walk away.Room

Cons:

Room was small and not much room at bottom of bed . Bed was a double but used to a king size and found it difficult to get comfy.

Hotel stay
Pros:

The hotel looks lovely. Rooms are clean and look fresh. Staff were helpful and friendly. The location is fabulous and its great having parking available.

Cons:

I had a family room it was right next to the bar and it was like they were drinking in our room because it was that loud. Not ideal for getting children to sleep. Luckily around 10.45 everyone went to bed so it wasn't the end of the world.

A little out of the main area but a beautiful, spotlessly clean hotel with great staff
Pros:

Spotlessly clean. Friendly staff. Comfy beds. Breakfast was beautiful.

Cons:

Rooms were a little snug. Shower cubicle very small, nowhere for toiletries in the bathroom around the sink. Room was very warm, aircon would be a great investment.
