thin towels street noise

the hotel was clean and looked well maintained, a positive aspect that met my expectations.

the provided towels was quiet thin and scratchy, not what i expect from a four stars hotel. also, the noise from the street was really bad, especially early in the morning when garbage trucks started rumbling by and it woke me up.

fantastic stay!

early check in extensive menu fresh food great hostess

Gill, the friendly hostess, arranged an early check in, i really appreciated that. the pub had an extensive food menu with freshly cooked meals. everything about my stay was fantastic. It's one of the best places i have ever stayed. i'd recommend this place!

i noticed a very slight issue with the traffic noise, it was a little bothersome due to nearby roadworks.
