Pros:

It was really good value. Great position. Friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable with a lot of history.

A great location and comfortable, a little disappointed with the menu.
Pros:

The hotel was in an ideal location for an event we were attending. We booked on a room only basis and this was clean, comfortable and with all facilities you would expect in a hotel . The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We were disappointed with an evening meal we had booked in for. The restaurant was busy and we weren't in a hurry but part of one of our meals was delivered on its own and we were then advised the other meal would be 20 minutes.
Perhaps our choices just didn't provide what we anticipated.
