Excellent location, for the city and train station. The hotel was comfortable with good food. Parking was a little tight. The stairs inside the hotel are a little narrow if you are less able (understandable in such an old building)

For the cost the room was not acceptable. The shower didn’t work and the hose on the bath taps leaked. The toilet seat was broken. The overall standard of the room was well short of what I would expect for the price.
