The hotel offers lovely rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, which were far more comfortable than expected. However, accessibility may be a concern for those with mobility issues. The service was warm and welcoming, and the live music in the bar added to the enjoyable atmosphere. The location is excellent for exploring the town center but lacks in terms of surroundings. The dining experience is convenient for accessing local amenities, but it may be confusing as it's not directly linked to the hotel stay.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are in great need of a facelift and thorough cleaning, but considering the location, it's somewhat expected. The service from the team was lovely and genuine, with a bonus of a car park. The location is convenient for a weekend stay, despite being in a run-down part of town. The dining experience was delightful, catering to various preferences and offering endless tea or coffee. Overall, there are areas that could use improvement, but there are charming aspects to appreciate too.
