lovely stay in a vibrant location
central location high standard bright decoration friendly staff
the location was really good. it was central to everything (i could easily walk everywhere i wanted to go). the room was very well-finished to a high standard. the styling was bright and well-decorated.
the room i had was unbelievably small, making it a little difficult to move around comfortably with luggage (but i made it work!).

adequate stay in the city center
friendly staff nearby parking stained carpet bathtub shower
the hotel is very close to many restaurants and pubs it was easy to find a place to eat i liked the friendly staff i felt welcome upon arrival. the hotel has parking available nearby this was a plus for me since i drove to the city.
the carpet in my room had quite a few stains it probably needs replacement i could hear some noise from the street at night i brought earplugs with me just in case. the shower was in the bathtub and i am not the biggest fan of those i find them slightly dangerous.
