The room was very clean and well equipped. I stayed on the fourth floor and it was very quiet. Breakfast had adequate choice in a nice clean environment. IT was good. The hotel offers excellent value for money.
There was no restaurant or pub IN the hotel. This fact was advertised by another company. I think it is their fault, but it is disappointing. the hotel did not have these amenities.
