10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very welcoming and friendly, even though they were so busy but they have continued to provide a professional service. The burger meal was my highlight of the evening. Thanks again till next time."

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Located behind "Kind of Spice" so type that in when looking for this place. No lift in the annex building, which is where our room was (2nd flr). Otherwise, kind staff and clean rooms. Complimentary bottles of water at the FD, just ask. Breakfast selection was fantastic; you can pay the night before and save 4bucks compared to the day of. No dinner service, but the bar is open in the evening from 5:30- 10:15pm. "King of Spice" (curry) is right around the corner, so we had dinner there instead. NO a/c. -JB from Cali"
