A Trip Down Memory Lane
My wife and I stayed at this hotel a number of times in the 1990s and, though I'm sure there must have been changes since, it seemed just as it was before. From experience, I know it is a very creaky hotel, so I made sure I was on the first floor and I suggest you do too. It might well not be the case now, but you always knew there was somebody above you when I stayed previously. I haven't been in a hotel for many years where I chose breakfast from a menu and was served it. That added to the time travel feeling. There were only a handful of guests when I went in, so I wonder whether you might have to wait when busy? I certainly didn't, and my breakfast, though not exactly generous in portion, was delicious - good quality food properly cooked. Staff were all very helpful and I have no complaints. There is some refurbishment going on, and if you look past the cosmetics it is comfortable enough. I would say that the premium paid for the convenient location means that while I don't feel cheated, I would not book here if I was looking for value for my money.
