We had an overnight stay here as we were attending a concert at the Congress theatre. We were very pleased with our choice as it is just across the road from the theatre and the hotel itself was pleasant. It's only about a 5 or 10 minute walk to the town centre. Rooms were clean, staff were friendly and there was a nice breakfast, cooked to order. There's plenty of street parking and I would recommend buying a permit from the hotel (£2.50) which lasted from our check in until check out the next day. We parked just around the corner from the hotel. I'd stay here again.

Room was very spacious. Beds made every day, cups changed and ample clean towels. Also very accommodating to our dog. Would have given a higher score if it were not for the lack of air-conditioning. A fan just doesn't cut it in hot weather. Also, breakfast was ok, but would have been nice to have a bit more choice; maybe some pastries and more fruit options. Otherwise a decent hotel, well located near attractions.
