Good location and love the history in the building. Comfortable bed and a great powerful shower.

The first room 131 smelt so bad and had a fab running but the staff were helpful and moved our room which was much better.

Passable.
Pros:

Reception staff were lovely. The motel would have been very grand in days gone by but unfortunately is now a little sad. Our room had a sealed off door leading to another room through which we could hear guests on the other side as though we were in the same room. Our bathroom door didn't shut properly and my husband actually got locked in - luckily I was able to use some muscle to force the door open from the other side! The bed was comfortable and the shower hot.

Cons:

Guests standing just outside of the front entrance smoking - unpleasant to walk through.
