Nice hotel, comfortable and clean
Pros:

Nice location
Clean
Friendly staff

Cons:

We stayed in room 2 (family room)
Opposite the bar - noisey night and morning.

No water in the room but told could buy some from the bar, which we had to do.

For the price of the room surely a bottle of water would be included.
