super stay in the heart of it all
helpful staff tasty breakfast clean room
the staff were very helpful and friendly. the breakfast had tasty options (especially the scrambled eggs!). the hotel provided a water bottle, a nice touch for those not drinking hot drinks. i really appreciated the clean room with its great view.
i found the bed a bit lumpy, but it did not stop me from sleeping well.

the staff offered directions to the bar when the restaurant was fully booked. they also allowed me to return and shower after a parkrun, even post check-out. this was helpful and meant i could enjoy my final day of touring.

late night noise disorganized breakfast
The location was central though it was hard to find initially. There was no one at reception most of the time, and i had to search for staff in the pub. Loud music from the bar continued late into the night, disrupting sleep. It was REALLY annoying. The breakfast service felt disorganized as items ran out quickly, and there was too little staff to manage everything.
