Good location and a nice property. Three weird things: one the toilet was out of the room and upstairs, two the shower was directly in the room which is very weird and uncomfortable and three there were no staff on site at all which was odd. Otherwise good facilities and a comfy bed.

Lovely place with kind helpful staff who looked out for our family. Breakfast wasn't available, but the manager gave us some good tips, and there's plenty of great food options throughout the city. My stepson loved it, especially the big bathroom linked to the family room we used. And our dog felt at home, so was very relaxed. Its a perfect location for access to the centre, but keep in mind if you're a light-sleeper during a weekend as it can get noisy outside late at night.

Nice place, but hard to find for some reason. GPS directed us (twice) a quarter of a mile away from the actual location. Room had lovely antique furniture. Shower worked well but was small. Parking available but limited. Nice shopping though right next door. Quarter of mile walk to Cathedral, nearby a decent restaurant (plus other choices)
