Would stay again but would ask for a room away from the front of the hotel.
Pros:

Staff are lovely and helpful

Cons:

The room location. We were right at the front. The noise from the bars carried on until around 4am. I got around 3 hours sleep my first night which left me in bad form for the next day and second night stay.
