First appearance was off putting, the building is old and in need of some 'curb appeal' and repainting. The room was very clean but very dark decor. The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly

Room was nice, check in was friendly and easy. When booking (and it may just be a hotels.com thing) a cooked breakfast was noted as included, however it was cereal/toast/pastries and all self service. I thought for 1 night £130 was a touch steep, but nevertheless a nice place to stay.
