Pros:

Very centrally located, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice friendly person at check in and at breakfast

Cons:

Decor in room was a bit drab, dark maroon and beige. We were told front door closes at 12 but just ring bell. We had lovely night in town and went back to hotel for nightcap at 11:45 pm, door was closed( although was quickly opened), disappointingly bar was shut locked and in darkness, we asked if we could get nightcap to take up to our room and was told, sorry, not possible! So, down the street in the bars, everyone is enjoying themselves and we are tucked up in bed , at 11:45, as quiet as a convent. Poor for a hotel.

The staff were wonderful and accommodating.

It’s an older property but had everything we needed. Only downside was that there was noise from the street until pubs were closed.
