Recommended!
Pros:

Good value for money and great position! The blonde lady at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly.
The bed and pillows were surprisingly comfortable, slept like a baby.

Cons:

One of the towels had what looked like rust stains, it wasn't a big issue for us as we had plenty in our room and the used ones were also replaced the next morning.

Great stay in a great location with very nice staff.
Pros:

Location is fantastic and staff were very helpful. We were advised of potential noise from the any events when we booked however the noise was no issue at all. I could not hear any sound of the functions that were being held.
