Nice room, clean and quiet, personable staff. My disappointment stems from a simple issue with the TV - was not able to choose a station or show other than what was pre determined. A small issue perhaps, but dammed annoying.

The room and its fixtures were all brand new so while the building looks old with its ancient lift the rooms were very modern which was nice!! As a side note, The town is very sleepy so don’t expect much activity, hustle n bustle after 5 pm and Sundays most shops etc are closed.
