Great location and the property is pretty decent. You get parking which in central city is a rarity. One thing that was lacking is an extra rubbish bin in the bathroom. There was only one small one in the kitchen. The overall stay was great. Warm and cosy and big enough for family of 3. Would definitely stay there again.

Value for money, clean, free parking. Shower caddy was completely rusted and not usable but the rest of the bathroom was great, plenty of room.
