Good location and service, room needs updating
Great staff, tasty food and breakfast. Only disappointment was the room which needs a little TLC. Bathroom tired, room was quite cold too. Very little soundproofing, could hear everything that was said in room below. Bathrobes a nice touch and comfy beds. Good location though and cant fault the service.
