Had a great stay here with my wife. Really nice to be right in the square with restaurants and shops close by. Our room was really nice and the house keeping was great for the two days we were there. Our room had a really sunny deck to relax on which was appreciated. We ate at the union restaurant and we were well looked after there too. Was a relaxing stay would highly recommend.

Off street parking very easy. Hotel and room very nice. However the issues are a steep flight of stairs to get up to the first floor room. The shower is an overhead rain type over bath & not too good for older guests. The shower was difficult to get in and out of and the bath floor very slippery and quite risky for elderly guests.
