Central Stay with Great Music

central locationclean roomwalk-in showercoffee machine
The central location proved great. Our room, a Superior Double or Twin Room City View, was super clean and well-decorated. I especially appreciated the walk-in shower, important for me. A coffee machine in the room added convenience (it reminded me of a home from home).
The music from the pub downstairs was noticeable in the room until midnight. This made it somewhat difficult to fall asleep early.
Service
9/10
The staff provided helpful directions to nearby restaurants. On arrival, staff showed me to my room and explained how to reserve a table for dinner, as it gets busy, especially at weekends.
Dining
8/10
Dinner reservations guaranteed us a good seat. The live bands provided great music. A lot of singing and toe tapping happened. (The atmosphere was great!).
