Excellent Central Lodging

The staff were polite and eager to assist with directions. My room included air conditioning which I found helpful. The bed offered restful sleep with quality linens. Free on-site parking was available which proved very useful.
The hallways showed some wear and could use fresh paint.

Adequate stay at central hotel

The location is very central. It allowed easy access to the cathedral and other attractions. The staff were friendly. They seemed committed to providing good service.
I found the car park small and tight. There was a public car park nearby. The bathroom was poor. I had some difficulty with the shower controls.

the location is good.
i found our room to be quite worn. the furnishings looked dated and in need of replacement. the bathroom fixtures were also showing their age (i noticed some cracks in the tiles), and the shower pressure was not great.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

great locationineffective air conditioning unit
Staff was friendly and the location was great because it allowed easy access to local attractions.
The room was small and had a musty odor, the air conditioning unit was not effective at all, and the noise from outside made it very hard to sleep well.

a tender stay

central locationground floortasty lunchdirty windows
The location was central. I cherished being so close to the cathedral. the staff helped me change rooms when i requested a ground floor room because my husband had difficulties with the stairs. lunch proved tasty and became available upon my arrival, offering a comforting welcome.
The beer selection at the bar did not quite meet my expectations. I felt the beers could have been better quality. there was only one beer on the hand pump, and i prefer a wider variety of traditionally served options. the windows in my room were not clean, obscuring the view.
