I felt like the rooms were well provided and comfortable, even though mine was towards the back of the building which meant no outside view and no parking space. The location, however, was great with a lovely, quiet, clean area of town in walking distance to everywhere.

The dining experience was just okay, with a little limited breakfast buffet. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
