We stayed with friends, I requested a down stairs room, unfortunately it was on the road side, therefore traffic noise was a problem early in the morning. The room was very hot. It didn't spoil out stay, the staff were great.

Our room, which was in the main part of the hotel, was comfortable, clean and came with all the quirks of an old building - slopping floors and creaky boards. All part of the character.
