The hotel is old, and the shower's water pressure is low, but I am OK with that. What I am not OK with is broken facilities. The toilet in Room 516 is leaking, so the area around it is wet and gives off a pungent smell. The bed is comfy, and the breakfast and location are grand.

A great all round experience. Convenient location to the train station and the centre. Made additionally great with a Premier Plus room upgrade. Paula on breakfast service is the absolute star, she’s knows everything about great customer service, second guessing guests needs and with enthusiasm as if it’s her first day but obviously with years experience. Thank you for great service.
