The hotel's proximity to the bus station was very convenient. A short walk led to many shops and restaurants. The staff was helpful, especially with directions and local information. Parking across from the hotel was discounted.
Breakfast items were average in quality. The bacon was thick and chewy. Hot drink machines often malfunctioned, and coffee temperature was inconsistent.
