The room was clean. All staff members were very helpful. the cleaning staff did an excellent job, which i appreciated. the location of the hotel was convenient with easy access for walking to shops and food. the hotel also featured an excellent cafe, a pub and restaurant, and wonderful outdoor covered seating.
