adequate stay

great location walking distance interesting menu oven baked cod family dinner wedding information loud music full car park
the location is great for visiting the cathedral and palace. all shops and restaurants are within walking distance. i took a family member to dinner at the restaurant. the dinner menu was interesting and we both chose the oven baked cod.
the music was so loud it shook our whole room and i had very little sleep. the car park was full due to the event, so i had to pay for parking and then walk.

an ok stay

great location friendly staff noise issue short notice
the location was great. it put me just a few minutes walk from what i wanted to see. the staff were friendly to, and i liked the breakfast they have.
i booked two months out. the hotel emailed me less than a week prior saying there was a function the second night of my stay. it would be noisy until 11:30pm, but they would 'try' to put me far from the noise.

lovely STAY

bottled water enjoyable atmosphere
my room was super cozy and well equipped with little conveniences. bottled water was waiting for me, and I liked having tissues available. the dining room offered an enjoyable atmosphere, and dinner was DELICIOUS.
the room location was not what I expected, and I wasn't in the main hotel. upon check-in, I received my key and instructions to find the building for my stay. this was my first negative impression.
