Large hotel with multiple bars. Rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable. Had a delicious smoked salmon salad for lunch. Friendly staff. A little dated but that’s part of its charm! Parking behind the hotel is free for guests.

My only complaint was that on Sunday night the bass boom from the music in the bar was loud till about 1.00am. Friday too but less so and finished by 12.30 am. Otherwise the room was comfortable if a little dated and the staff were helpful and friendly. Can’t comment on breakfast as we did not eat the hotel.
