We loved this hotel, from the furnishings to the staff, who were genuinely kind and very helpful. My husband used a mobility scooter and each day someone was on hand to help me put it together and transport it in and out of the hotel. …

I stayed one night in a first floor suite yesterday. Brilliantly located close to the centre but far away enough to avoid too much noise. Parking at the sister hotel a few minutes walk away. …

The overall impression of this facility is worn and dowdy. The carpets were stained. The hallway light fixtures were dirty. The paint was chipped. Several of the hallway lights were not functioning making it difficult to see in the evening . The staff was pleasant and helpful.||Would not return or recommend.
