It looks like the police station

When we arrived we thought it was the police station as the architecture is ‘functional’ rather than beautiful. Hotel room was lovely, very clean with good space. The bar needs some charisma added. The town is less than appealing and was mostly closed when we visited

Not bad all round. Reasonably priced

This wasnt a bad hotel overall. It was a bit dated and old fashioned in places but everything was in a good state of repair and functional. The meals in the restaurant were a good selection and not badly priced and quite tasty. Service was good, everyone very friendly and good to see breakfast included. Downsides, in my room at least (207) the shower was useless. Hardly any pressure or hot water, but was for the bath. Wifi bit slow too. Other than that nice all round

The Norse.man was located perfectly our needs. Friendly helpful staff. We had breakfast buffet each morning, the food was fresh, cooked food was hot. The only slight downside side was the breakfast had to be carried across the corridor to the bar area as on the 2 mornings we were there, conferences were taking place using the dining room and the corridor was full of people waiting for the conference to start. This could have been handled better but as i stated only a small hiccup. Evening meal in bar area really nice, food great.
