We didn't eat other than breakfast which was absolutely fine. The young lady who looked after us seemed to have everything under control and was very pleasant. The guy from Leeds during the day and evening seemed totally rushed off his feet and on his own... did everything he could to keep things running as smooth as possible. Obviously he couldn't be everywhere at the same time!

The room was spacious but lacked space in the bathroom to place toiletries and it would have been nice to have a table and another chair chair in the room, the shower controls were very stiff, my wife was unable to turn it on I had to assist her.

This is a small hotel located within easy walking distance of "downtown." It is basic but nice and the staff are great. There is a restaurant/pub across the parking lot where you check in. There is also a park with a walking trail behind the hotel that leads to the city centre.
