Hotel was a bit odd. Small front doors, lobby has a stuffed tiger in it which is cool. Room was not our favorite. The elevated tub has a shower curtain that won’t stop sticking to you. Toilet would also run for over an hour. Place felt old and outdated but it was ok for the price.

The staff were great, and it was good value. I was woken up by people talking outside my room on both nights. The hotel can't help drunk people being inconsiderate. The bed was comfortable. The telly reception wasn't great, and the water needed to be a little hotter. I would stay again, as it was reasonably priced, a good location, and the staff were friendly and helpful

Loved this hotel! So much charm and class! Lovely breakfast. Interesting pubs connected to the hotel. Right in the heart of everything downtown. Great experience! The room is a bit dated and the bathroom needed an upgrade - the shower curtain clung to us as we showered, but the location and overall charm made up for it. We would stay here again!
