Expensive for what it is. Wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Courtyard was lovely… we were lucky with the weather so could sit out here. Location good although in wrong side of town.

Cons:

Shabby frontage. Room was basic but clean. Very small window over looking a rooftop. Bathroom needed updating. One tea bag found for a cuppa in the morning. Hall light on all night which shone under our door. Staff mostly absent.
