It's a busy, but good, mid-priced hotel in a great location. Staff are super helpful. Room 606 has a noisy exhaust fan above it and we were moved from it upon request. Breakfast is very reasonable, but better the earlier you arrive for it.

We had the sad news of my mother in law passing and when I contacted hotel to let them know that we wouldn’t be able to come and to see if I could rearrange the booking dates they were very unhelpful said they would look into it and call me back straight away but they didn’t and still haven’t that’s why I have given this rating very poor customer care
