The location and access to public parking was good
The lady who did the breakfast was extremely rude and unhelpful and treated us like we were an inconvenience to her

Checked in pretty late due to delays from work. Room was clean and the facilities were great. Location was perfect and walking distance for the train station approximately 5/10 minutes walk.
Slightly on the small side but for the price, its not too bad.

The staff were lovely. The room and bathroom were bright and clean with a good supply of toiletries and tea/coffee facilities. I took breakfast at the hotel on one morning; there was a good range of options available and the food was great.
Be aware that it is an older building and the rooms have no sound proofing, I could hear every conversation from the adjacent rooms - this isn't too disruptive during the day but not great when trying to sleep! Take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. (The hotel doesn't have any available to purchase on site.)

Beautiful rooms! We stayed in the basement and it was very quiet and comfortable with high end bath products. My mom and cousin were on the top floor with amazing view!
It didn’t have en elevator which my mom needed.
