The location proved wonderful! A bus stop was just in front of the hotel, so transportation was super accessible. The restaurant staff impressed me with their attentiveness during dinner.

The room felt so dated. It clearly needs an update. I overheard every move from the person above me. The floorboards are noisy!

Breakfast had a great selection. I liked the dining room. It felt magical with a pianist and crackers. The meal was excellent with reasonably priced wine.

My room was very hot. The radiator in the bathroom had no off switch. A Union Jack flag outside kept hitting the window. I had to keep the window open. The traffic was noisy, but it was SO hot.
