Oldie but a goodie.
Location and the inclusion of breakfast is a winner. We stayed in the executive room where the bed was very comfortable. Shower is great. Considering the age still worth considering.

Pleasant stay thanks so much. The bed was so comfortable, it’s been over 40 years since I stayed here & the decor shows this period of time, the bathroom area also could do with a refurbish. All in all perfect position being so central & staff are lovely & very helpful.

Neat and tidy room with the added bonus of breakfast which was included in the price. Easy walk to plenty of food options for dinner.
Bathroom very dated though, with some mould showing, broken tile(s) and shower screen panels that needed fixing.
