Large clean room, great location and very god breakfast. However the hotel is showing its age, the carpets in the public areas are very worn stained and the rooms are getting dated, with limited facilities for a hotel in this price range.

We had two meals in the restaurant, which were quite good. One was lunch and it was excellent and the other breakfast which was among the best we’ve ever had in a hotel.
