central location and great breakfast!!!

superb locationlovely buildingexcellent breakfastfresh towels
the hotel had a superb location in the town centre. the building was lovely. the breakfast was excellent, it lasted me all day. the staff at reception were kind and cleaners were too. the young man from housekeeping gave me fresh towels and tea and coffees.
the electric pump system on the toilet was very noisy when operating. the wardrobe in the room made it difficult to get around the bed.
