We were happy with our stay but being elderly and with impaired mobility found the stairs difficult.
Pros:

Good location, parking available, very clean. Pleasant staff. Room aircon very effective.

Cons:

The only problem is that it is an older building, no lift and the stairs are difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
