Great staff, location and breakfast. Rooms are tired and very dated, need upgrading asap.
Pros:

Breakfast was outstanding, and really friendly staff. Hotel building on the outside looks magnificent, and in a good location.

Cons:

Rooms are extremely dated. Look like they have not been refurbished since the 1980s. Hotel needs some investment to bring it back to its former glory.
