Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff, but the hotel is in desperate need of some TLC, and the cleanliness in the non obvious places is non existent. Mattresses need changing and kids bed is a uncomfortable. It's a shame as it is a lovely property, just needs a bit of investment.

How this is rated as a VIP property I am not sure. The place was very run down, the room small and not well designed, ie couldn’t get the suitcase to open part of the room without lifting it over the bed. Parking was a nightmare to get in and out of. Breakfast was good but sleeping impossible without earplugs since the floors creek and you can hear everything through the walls. The price was very cheap but so were nicer places in the area. Oh and the elevator didn’t work. I illiminated other choices due to no elevator.staff were wonderful, helped carry bags up and downstairs and location great for sightseeing

Nice hotel with a 15min walk to all local amenities. Exactly what we were looking for with a very homely feel to the hotel. Breakfast was also amazing and and all food was freshly made to order.
