The food and service was excellent.

There was only a backless stool in the bedroom. A proper chair would have been more comfortable.

The staff were excellent and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and clean.

The whole hotel was covered in scaffolding with roof repairs ongoing above our room. However, the noise was bearable for the short period between 1600-1800.
