"Fantastic staff, great location in the middle of the city with on site parking. The food in the hotel is incredible, limited menu but superb quality and sensational value for money. Only moan is that it's showing signs of wear and tear, lots of stains on the carpets and a ton of scuffs on the walls. ..."
