The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms, although not as clean as expected, were non-smoking, which was a plus. The service was outstanding, with staff going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The location was excellent for exploring the town, but the dining options were overpriced in comparison to others nearby.
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring the town, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms have character but are on the small side, although they were clean overall. The service was warm and welcoming, with just a need for some extra attention to detail. The location was excellent for our plans, being close to the town center yet quiet. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with some dishes being lovely while others were less appealing. Overall, a good value for money choice with some room for improvement.
