The breakfast included a really lovely full english option, cooked perfectly. the location was ideal. I could easily walk to nearby attractions! free parking on the premises was a definite bonus. I didn't have to worry about finding a spot.

The stairs to the upper floors are quite steep. It was a bit challenging with luggage.
