Great Hotel
Lovely hotel,rooms are spacious.My only negative is beds are not comfortable and would like to have been able to open windows a little.
Tracy, 4-night trip

Great value hotel
Very central location close to shops and train station. Great value given size of the room and price of the breakfast. Enjoyed having choice of a bath and a shower plus being able to follow easy controls on air conditioning. Unfortunately the bed was not the most comfortable, the tea urn didn't ever get hot enough to make quality tea- and there were a lot of stairs!
