Fantastic stay!

The room was a good size and very clean. I appreciated the double shower cubicle in the en-suite. Towels warmed well on the wall radiator. Mini toiletries were available too, helpful. I was on a relaxing weekend away and the bed helped me to sleep well. The room was very spacious, a real plus for longer stays.
The hallways could use a bit of freshening up.

Mixed Experience at Central Hotel

thick dustsound proofing
The room was not as clean as I expected the sides of the bedside units had dust I also found some in other areas. A staff member knocked on the door to tell me that water was leaking downstairs and asked if I had left a tap on. The shower drain erupted and flooded the bathroom it regurgitated a ton of water. I was moved to a much smaller and cramped room with no sound proofing I could hear them repairing the drain issue all night.

the staff were very FRIENDLY. I had bar snacks and they tasted good. My room was clean and the bed and bathroom were an adequate size. I found a convenient breakfast option across the road.
i found the entrance through the indian restaurant inconvenient. the experience of wheeling luggage through the dining area was not ideal. this ARRANGEMENT affected the check-in process and overall first impression.
