"Staff were very helpful, we were attending a wedding and they advised us regarding taxi v uber. Uber is best as a set price. I didnt have time to use the pool but it looked inviting. The room was spacious and clean, quiet, the breakfast had a lot of choice. Location excellent , very near the train station and walkable distance to the shops and historical venues."

"The hotel needs to upgrade the rooms to accommodate places to plug in phones and laptops. in most rooms I have stayed in there are absolutely no places to plug in any kind of portable device. this is probably why I cannot stay there any longer after staying here several times a year for many years for business."
