Good location, tired room

Really great location, good room size. Overall tired looking room. Bathroom could be in better shape - towel rack was so rusty, we didn't want to use it or put our towels on it. Walls very thin, could hear everything from the room next to ours through the walls.

Nice and quiet. Very nice and friendly staff. No direct access to the parking, okay in summer, not so much in the rain or winter. Lovely lounge for a drink. Chef didn't shut down the gas after their shift and the alarm went off ,had to evacuate the hotel...
