Checking in and out was nice and simple. Room was very good and spotlessy clean. Comfortable bed. The only let down was breakfast which was a bit dry and overcooked. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was great, in a town where it is notoriously difficult. Would be happy to stay again.

Rooms are outdated but probably on par for the town. Car park was very convenient. Staff were excellent but were not available overnight which I found odd.
