"The hotel was a great location with parking nearby. The hotel is dated and the room dark. We had a window but a view of the ventilation system.
The staff were helpful and friendly"
"Another excellent stay at this hotel. Friendly staff, nice room. Very easy and a great location. Only negative was the restaurant as the food wasn't great and was poor value given the quality. It was far better last year, hence I booked it again this year."
