Good location in town, nice breakfast. Had a few little issues while we were there which staff did their best to sort. Rooms in need of deep clean especially very dusty curtains! Be aware there is limited parking so you will have to pay for the public car park nearby. Our room was up several flights of stairs with no lift and no help with heavy luggage offered.
