Great location and room, although small was clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated and there only appears to be a small staircase but not a problem for me. I would stay here again.

Unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to stay at this hotel as there was a maintenance issue with our room on arrival. We were taken to the hotel next door. This was apparently has a 3 star rating which I feel is debatable. The double bed was the smaller double I've ever slept in, uncomfortable pillows and extremely thin walls.
