Near rail station which attracts noise and misc activity. Can be noisy at times. Basic tourist level hotel. Staff was nice and helpful but properly is a bit worn. Staff works hard in daily cleaning and room turnover.

Great hotel

The hotel was very clean and inviting. Very central to ev6we wanted or needed to do The staff are friendly and attentive. Our double room was basic but clean and comfortable. Only gripe was that the bathroom sink was great if youre 7ft tall, a tad too high for a 5ft 5in woman. Perfect for our short stay.
