I found the property to be secure, very clean, comfortable bed, nice size bathroom which large shower and plenty of hot water and easy to use. It was in a good location within easy walking distance of visitor attractions and shops. I found the property met my needs perfectly.

Perfect location for what we needed. Room was great although internal doors really heavy and loud so hard to move around quietly. A fantastic couple of days.

No guest WiFi, NOT a hotel!!!
The room was clean and comfortable. Shower and bathroom space is really tiny. The biggest issue for me was the fact that there was NO guest wifi.
Also there is an awful smell when you walk up the stairs to the rooms.
The check in experience was not very positive either. I had to look for someone to pay my bill. He did not know any details about my booking or my rate. He did not offer my a receipt when I paid.

Although the parking was at a car park, it was very close by and convenient. And you could easily walk to the center of the town.
