Anthony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked this hotel for location close to hospital. Ideal and close enough to walk. Booked a small double room which was sufficient for our purpose. The bathroom was compact but had a good shower and constant hot water. The breakfast each day was excellent and when there weren’t many guests, it was cooked to order. Very fresh good quality food and sufficient choice. The staff were friendly and helpful.
