Ok hotel- good location, food and staff good, needs updating, no lift and stairs awful!
Pros:

Breakfast was good, staff were lovely, location was very good.

Cons:

No lift, and we were put up 2 flughts of narrow stairs, with a dog who had to be carried and we are nearly 60- stairs were quite challenging. Shower dribbled, then blasted, then hot then cold. Room faced a very busy road and the traffic noise was bad all through the night.
