A good place to stay within walking distance of town centre and various places to eat.
Pros:

Good sized room, comfortable bed, good lighting,

Cons:

Room was very hot at night even with windows open.
We didn't like the coffee/tea machine at breakfast - we prefer individual coffee pots or teapots.

Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. We arrived to find a basket of goods in our room and a note to say we had VIP status. This was a lovely touch and our son was really excited by it.
