Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with enough storage, but the noise from the road was quite disruptive. The hotel's location was superb, right in the heart of the town, but some factors like the early refuse collection impacted my stay negatively.
The hotel is in a convenient location, central to town with friendly staff and a nice view from the room. The rooms are spacious but can be noisy, especially on nights with live music events. The dining experience is good but could offer a bit more variety in the menu.
The hotel is located right above the live music area, which could be a nightmare for those seeking peace and quiet at night. However, the staff were very accommodating and genuinely welcoming. The location is ideal, close to the town center, but parking could be better. The dining experience was disappointing, but the hotel was spotless.
