The hotel is currently very ‘tired’ looking. However, the amazing staff more than make up for this. The rooms were very warm and spacious. Plus as it’s in the centre of town, it’s next to everything.

Pity about the "music"

On arrival the receptionist told us about the night club, but assured us that our room was far enough away so that we wouldn't hear it! The "music "started late evening and finally I rang reception about oneish to find out when it would be over, and was told 2am, I was offered a change of room but it didn't seem worth it for an hour, eventually the "music" ceased but then the revellers gathered below our, single glazed, window so it was after 3 before we had some peace. The only thing we could hear was the continual beat of drums, and did not hear any actual music, but the drums rocked the beds. If we were far enough to be unaffected I dread to think what anyone nearer did about sleeping. The food was good the staff were pleasant and it is a pity that the noise spoiled an otherwise enjoyable break in a very comfortable hotel. Next time I will go mid week and not on a Saturday!

Only hotel in area

\On the corner of a busy street with noisy trucks and cars most of the night. Only decent hotel in area for the price we wanted to pay. Room was small but adequate.
