The car park felt secure. I appreciated that. The staff were cute and professional. Breakfast offered a huge selection. I especially liked the percolated coffee. The location is central, close to independent shops and the castle.
The hotel did not have a lift, and my room was on the higher floor which presented a small inconvenience.
