Really good attention and superb accommodation
perfect service event stay great comfort
Ross Leonard displayed perfect service. He accommodated our needs throughout our event stay. His attention to detail impressed me and he always ensured our comfort! We will return.
The parking across the street cost eight euro per night. This charge felt excessive given the hotel rate and added an unexpected expense.

Acceptable but Several Issues Noted
old bathroom street noise
The location was central and convenient FOR exploring the surrounding area.
My room's bathroom was quite dated. THE shower sprayed water all over. I experienced significant noise from the street as my window faced the main road. The draft from the window was considerable, giving the impression that it was not properly sealed. I expected better from a hotel of this price range.
