Very convenient, buses right out the front door, close to everything. Very warm room but at least they let us borrow a fan and we could open the window. You’re paying for location. Older facility but it had everything we needed.

The hotel was very clean and inviting. Very central to ev6we wanted or needed to do The staff are friendly and attentive. Our double room was basic but clean and comfortable. Only gripe was that the bathroom sink was great if youre 7ft tall, a tad too high for a 5ft 5in woman. Perfect for our short stay.

View from our room was very impressive. Cleaning staff was not shy about yelling to each other from floor to floor which could be quite annoying in the mornings. Location was great and very convenient.

Great older hotel near everything. Bed was comfortable, the room average size for an older downtown hotel. Breakfast was a good, typical, UK hotel breakfast.

Our third time staying at this hotel. It cannot be beat for location, has an excellent breakfast buffet, and a well-stocked and well-priced bar/lounge area for afternoons and evenings.
