Wasnt as good as previous stays Im afraid. Check in was terrible and took about 10 minutes despite me doing it online and their being two staff members there, noone offered to help. Room was clean and comfortable BUT there was a huge flag outside my window which was flapping in the wind very loudly ...

Middletons Hotel
Very nice hotel, great location. Bed is a bit on the older side. Fan in the room was very dirty and noisy, it was a stand alone tower fan placed in the room. Overall a good stay.
