I adored the hotel's central location. it was wonderfully convenient for exploring. the staff was cute. the included breakfast featured a generous cooked selection. The bacon was delightfully crisp.
Our room felt a bit small. The space was limited. the check-in process took place at the bar, this created a wait. sounds from the pub below were noticeable within the room. The noise impacted sleep.
