The room was noisy. I could here the people above walking about and the TV. On the morning of the 27th January 2026 I woken up at 0530 by them banging about. The staff were good and the food in the Bistro restaurant was very good ans filling.
Location is great but everything else is below average. Squeaky beds, grumpy staff, wouldnt stay there again

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The windows were painted closed in the room and did not open. The condensation from the windows was dripping onto the floor and table. We checked with reception and they advised there was nothing they could do about the windows. The staff were nice and the breakfast was decent enough and the hotel location was also very good and has parking. All in all it was fine for a couple of days max.

Very old but fairly clean. Front desk clerks were Fabulous and so kind. Restaurant staff were kind except a young blonde lady who was extremely rude and very hard to understand when she talked. The food was nice at the restaurant with reasonable prices. Bed s were old and hard but the rooms had a bathtub. Parking was difficult. I would stay there again.
Great place. Near shops, restaurants and the train station
