Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the location. Very convenient and walkable to everything in town. Small gripe, but i do not know why these hotels say they are eco friendly and if you want to reuse your towel to leave it hanging, but then they replace it anyway. What is the point? You either are or are not eco friendly in that regard. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.

It's an old property but very well kept and above all, the staff is great. Asking for an internal room could solve the outside noise issue though the internal sound proofing is not great so have some earplugs if you are a light sleeper. On Saturday evenings and Sundays all day, the public car park is free of charge. Overall great value for money and would stay here again.
