The room was clean, nicely decorated and cosy.
It was in a fantastic location, and really walkable to all main attractions.
There was a bar/restaurant downstairs which had a lively atmosphere (and shows sport on a big screen), but the rooms were soundproofed really well and you couldn’t tell if that isn’t your sort of thing.
We were able to keep our bags safe at the hotel before check-in and after check-out as well, which was great due to travel times.
Would definitely return to this hotel!

We loved being on The Mile at The Mile Inn. It was a hopping part of town, but quieted down my 10pm. My husband is vegetarian, and they had ALOT of options on their menu. We loved sitting outside in the front, and the night time bar crew was great.
