Wonderful Stay Near the Canal

friendly staffcomfortable bedworking amenities
The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. They offered car park recommendations near the city centre. Our room in the annex had nice decor. The bed was comfortable, and all amenities functioned well (the shower was amazing).
Noise from adjacent rooms traveled easily through the walls, disturbing sleep.
