Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout my stay. The building is older, with character, so don't expect soulless corporate style.

Pleased overall with our stay. Ensuite was rather 'tight' but plenty of hot water and toiletries. Large double bed was a bit too soft for us. Overall well situated with easy access to the city with an excellent bus service. A big bonus was the free parking.
