Friendly check in experience and although a bit dated and pokey, the room was better than I expected for the price. Close enough to the centre of town and relatively quiet.

very Disappointing
The hotel had no idea about our booking and subsequently did not have the correct accommodation ready for us. We were shown a double room with a broken toilet in one bathroom. We were offered the room at a discounted rate, which we declined and managed to book alternative suitable accommodation.
