I appreciated the new owners being very friendly. the location was close to many attractions. It was quite convenient. the bed was comfy, and the room was clean. i would definitely stay there again. Great value for money for a one-bed room.

Excellent stay with fine views!!!

updated roomsthoughtful touchesgood showertown center

The new owners clearly invested in the updated rooms. Thoughtful touches included both oat milk and cow's milk on the tea tray. The shower pressure was good, especially for an older building. I found plenty of on-street parking behind the hotel. The location provides a very short walk into the town center.

The absence of breakfast service was a minor inconvenience, but it did not detract significantly from my stay.

the room was clean. the bed was comfortable. location allowed for a short walk to town and entertainment was a plus. staff exceeded my expectations, they were lovely.

the room was cold despite the heating was on for hours. the bathroom sink suffered from clogging. the room could use an update, especially double glazing is a must. the level of comfort was lacking.
