Not impressed
Nice room but rather indifferent welcome. Rather bland breakfast for the high price paid. Basically a coach tour hotel with high prices for indivybookings but you get a coach tour group breakfast. OK place with a nice enough room and convenient for the station but wouldn't return if I could avoid it.

Wonderful location, grand old building. Service was terrific - friendly and helpful. Parking free and so convenient. Rating really centres on the room - needs som maintenance. Bath basically peeling open! Floor felt like we were on 30degree slope. Breakfast was sensational

The hotel is located near by the station and with a lot of restaurants around. But the hotel needs a makeover, we experienced issues with the heating water.

Great staff. The property itself needs some money putting into it. It’s kind of lacking direction and needs sprucing up
Breakfast needs better attention, just get 3 more coffee machines and present the food better

The room size is fine for a solo traveler but the electrical outlet was no where near the bed since its an old fashioned style room. Do not expect modern appliances to be easily accessed from the outlets. Sink is in the main room instead of bathroom. Tub was brand new and looked recently replaced, but nothing around it was updated like panels or plumbing. If you like the historic feel and just need a place to crash, its fine. Very close to lots of restaurants and just across street from train station.
