The hotel was in a great location just off the main road that takes you down to the Scott Monument and beyond. I had a single room which was perfect for just me. The staff were really kind and polite and helpful also. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean and comfy. However, the bathtub was too high, making it inaccessible for one of us who has mobility issues. Also, there are steps coming into the property. This should be a consideration for others who use mobile devices.

The hotel was very neat and clean. The staff were very helpful. The position of the hotel was in easy walking distance of many major shops and restaurant. Easy and affordable ride in a taxi from the train station. Will definitely revisit this hotel again in the future.
