Great location and nicely appointed rooms. The staff were friendly and the included breakfast added some extra value. The only reason I didn't award 5 stars was due to the noise from the bar on Saturday night. This wasn't the hotel's fault, but it did affect my peaceful enjoyment of the room.

Small hotel. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. No parking but there is parking nearby. Irish pub downstairs plays Live band on Friday and Saturdays until 1am (very loud), but it is quiet other than that.

Great location, close to shops and restaurants. The only thing wrong was the bathroom door was frosted glass which was awkward with our two teenage children sharing the room with us

This property is located in an ideal area where everything is just about walking distance. You will find countless shopping, dining and more within 5 to 10 minutes away. The hotel is a bit older and could use a "makeover" but the facilities are pretty decent. I just wish the breakfast room was open later to at least 10 AM every morning.
