Solid stay in town center

friendly staffspacious roomgood value
I found the staff wonderfully friendly and helpful. Our Superior Double Room was large and included a sofa with chairs. I could have dinner in my room. The food was enjoyable and very good value for money.
The stairs in this old building are a bit uneven, and that can be a challenge.

the hotel location is central, a short distance from shops and restaurants. the staff provided pleasant service and the room was good. free parking was available to me.
the room windows faced the kitchen wall and roof, which wasn't ideal. an ac unit outside ran loudly. kitchen smells were noticeable in the room.

The hotel lacked proper maintenance. The floors creaked a lot. The low ceilings felt very claustrophobic. I hoped each morning that the building had not collapsed during the night. The floors were uneven.

I found the staff helpful throughout my visit. The location is central on the high street. The hotel provides convenient parking off-site. The room included a desk suitable for working.
The water temperature in the bathroom was quite high. Caution is advisable. More information on the water temperature would have been helpful on arrival.

The room was a good size and clean. The breakfast offered a wholesome and appetizing start to the day. This hotel had parking at the rear, a significant advantage.
The room showed signs of wear and tear. The bathroom shower control and shower pipe was neglected (I think they needed a good scrub). I found the mattress to be quite uncomfortable.
