The location was fantastic (so close to everything!), the staff were very cute and friendly. the meals were delicious. I especially enjoyed breakfast. the room was adequate and had tea, coffee, and biscuits, a nice touch.
I found the tv to be quite small for the room. A larger screen would have been preferable.

Average stay. Room issues.

breakfast selectionsmall roomnoisy bathroom
The breakfast was acceptable. It had a reasonable selection of items.
The room was smaller than I expected. The sink was actually located IN the room, not even in the bathroom (I found this odd). The bathroom itself was also tiny and quite noisy. The pipes seemed to clang with every flush of the toilet.
