The reception staff were helpful, the room is very spacious and clean and not to forget we had nice hot breakfast. We stayed for one night for the concert in Lighthouse which took us five minutes to walk back to the hotel and it’s near to town centre and train station. It’s an excellent location for all the facilities that we need.
