A small walk from the city centre but ideal for parking and public transport not far away for those unable to walk far.
Nice bar on site with good selection of drinks

On chatting terms with the silverfish in the room!
The located is good. We have stayed in the hotel before but this time the rooms were clean on the surface but old, tired and grubby in the corners. The bathroom smelt damp and there were silverfish. There was old black gum on the carpets. Not great.
