Good and Bad
The positives were close to the station and the old town, good beds and breakfast was okay. The negatives were being on a busy junction, building is an old office block and the restaurant in hotel next door is not well run.

Worst hotel I have stayed in years
Hotel room smells really bad — I have window open all day and it still smells like an uncleaned toilet (mold? Human excrement? Dead mouse? I can’t tell). When I first got in the toilet bowl is covered with feces from the last guest I assumed. I will never go back again. I stay in hotels 100 nights every year, this is the worst I have been in years. Stay away at all cost.

Funky modern excellence all around in a super convenient location. Roomy enough, everything new, expansive free breakfast. My favorite conventional hotel (as distinct from a B&B) in a very long time.
