Lovely hotel with nice interior and friendly staff. Located within the city and just a short walk to the main street where you can find plenty of restaurants and pubs. Rooms are cosy, well maintained and with nice amenities including a coffee machine in the room. Parking, whilst not on site, is just a 5 mins walk away with a discounted hotel rate. Breakfast is all self self with nice juice bottles, ready made bagels etc and fruit/yoghurt pots. Would recommend this hotel.
