Town Centre Stay
Pros:

The location was the best thing about this place being in the town centre, it was also great that there was parking aswell

Cons:

Having parking was great but trying to find the carpark was a nightmare
The room was very small and if we wanted breakfast it would have been very expensive so we didn't bother

Disappointing for the cost.
Pros:

Excellent location right in the heart of Carlisle and very close to the cathedral, castle and museum.

Cons:

The room in the extended wing was supposed to be recently modernized but it was wierd with the wash basin in the bedroom, not in the bathroom.
Also the wifi was non-existent in the room - we had to go into the main lounge for it.
