Pros:

I chose Law Courts Hotel at last minute due to forecast snow storm preventing airport shuttle reaching my home the next morning. Was adequate for the price. Nice evening meal.

Cons:

I left before 6am and the lift does not access the ground floor at that time so had to descend one flight with bags, but I was warned.

Great location, room size was adequate but needs renovating.
Pros:

Location was great, walking distance to nearby shops, restaurants and waterfront areas. The building is very grand and staff were friendly and accomodating.

Cons:

Room was very dated. Damage has been painted over rather than repaired and bathroom was very old and due to disrepair could not be properly cleaned.
