The staff were great. i found the hotel easily with convenient parking at the rear. the location was central. Shops and restaurants are nearby.
The room's lighting was not ideal. The main light resulted in shadows, and the angle-poise lamps offered only limited visibility.

The receptionist was indeed helpful, and I felt welcome. I found the room furniture matched the age of the building. It created a nice atmosphere. Breakfast was plentiful with many options. It helped me start the day right. I appreciated that.
