“The hotel's central Carlisle location puts guests within easy reach of both the town and nearby pubs, making it a convenient base for exploring. While some aspects are basic, the comfortable beds and welcoming female staff contribute to a positive stay. In my opinion, organized room structure would improve the overall experience.”
