The location proved convenient for exploring the town center. It was a short walk to reach shops and restaurants.
The room felt outdated and in need of refurbishment. I also noted chipped furniture and some mould in the bathroom.

The reception staff were lovely. I felt very welcome. My room had a massive bed. I loved the adjustable water pressure in the shower. The layout of the room was lovely. I also appreciated that the hotel provided tea and coffee making facilities.
