I thought the hotel was good. The evening meal was expensive for what it was, and I think I’d dine elsewhere. Breakfast À la carte was much better value than the buffet. I thought the À la carte breakfast was good value. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room - whilst small, was clean and well appointed.

Location is close to everything. The room is spacious and clean. The provision of kitchen and simple cooking utensils are good but can have more to facilitate dinner cooking. After-all, it is a value-for-money stay.
