This was the second time staying here and it met all our expectations and then some. The hotel is quaint and comfortable, our room had two twin beds with a little kitchenette and a balcony. Everything is very clean, the staff is very accommodating to help out or answer any questions, free water is provided in your fridge, a full breakfast every morning is a definite bonus. It's location can't be beat, just steps away from the byword market area with lots of restaurants and shopping. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

The hotel itself is great. The space is clean, the rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. My only complaint is parking. The car park has space for eight cars, and we were just fortunate to be able to get a space. The spaces are extremely tight (and not all guests park in between the lines, making it even harder to park), and there was one morning we had to get a staff member to move his car as we were blocked in. There was a bit of a push for us to check out early, assuming so he could use the space, but I made it clear we'd be back. This was at 6:30 a.m. with checkout at 11 a.m.! The "self parking available" is a little misleading when you consider this, as I'm assuming parking would be in a city car park next door. This is just something that needs to be noted better.

Staff are very welcoming and aim to please. Breakfast is very tasty. The only small improvement would be their coffee in the mornings. Not very hot and it is very strong. That is a personal preference though so it would be difficult to please everyone. Cafes close by to choose from. Room was quite nice and we had a higher floor. It is quiet at night so no problem sleeping. Great location. Highly recommended
