Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

polite staffcomfortable bedcentral locationstreet noiseno parkinglate noise

The staff were very polite and helpful. The room was a good size (I had a Double Room), with a comfortable bed. The location was central, close to shops and cafes.

The room faced the street. It was quite noisy until late because of pub activity. I found no parking at the hotel, inconvenient.
