Really good Stay

easy accesscomfortable bedbreakfast optionsdiscounted parking
The location provided easy access to nearby attractions. My room was impeccably clean, and I found the bed very comfortable for a good night's sleep. Breakfast offered many options, including a full English and lighter continental choices (the pastries were very nice!). The discounted parking at Pepper Street, a short walk from the hotel, was convenient and cost-effective.
I noticed some slight noise from neighboring rooms late at night. The walls seemed a bit thin.

The shower was really small. It was hard to move around in there. i also thought the coffee at breakfast wasn't good at all. it tasted weak though there were other options. i had expected a better coffee for the price of the stay. also the room was too hot even with the window open. It was jammed, even more frustrating

small shower roomsoft pillows
the shower room was quite small. there wasn't much space to move around in there. i also found the pillows too soft for my liking.. this made it difficult to get comfortable. overall, it was a decent location, but perhaps a bit overpriced for what it offered.
