It’s in a Central location with dinning options and shopping in close proximity. The staff was wonderful and breakfast was very well done. Be aware that if you’re driving, the car park / Bus station a block away and charges per day for parking spots. (Which is fine, just an FYI)

Not awful, room was very nice. Was extremely diserpointed with the breakfast we turned up just after 6:30 which is the time breakfast starts and it was cold and rubbery. Honestly had stomach issues for the rest of the day.
