"Very pleasant expirence. Staff was friendly and helpful. I left a cap on the luggage rack and the desk clerks held it for me till I checked out. I much appreciated that.

"The room was spotless and spacious. The only drawback was, it was at the front and the traffic could be heard passing through the night. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Breakfast was excellant and set you up for the day ahead. We only used the bar on our first night for an evening meal. The food was very good and the Guinness hit the spot. All in all a very good hotel and would stay here again."

"Great hotel. In center of town. Breakfast delicious. Enjoyed our 2 night stay; but as our room, 32, was directly above a loading bay, the noise early each morning was V loud, to be honest. We also had no seaview, which was on our booking. We will use this hotel again. Just not room 32 ..."
