The hotel has good rooms with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast is spot on, but some noise issues were present. The location is convenient despite being on the main road. However, the rooms were cold and had mold in the bathroom.

The hotel's rooms need modernization and the bed wasn't comfortable. It lacked the inviting and warm atmosphere one would expect, with threadbare doormats, cobwebs in the dining area, and dampness in the bedrooms. The basement room was absolutely awful, dark, grubby, and dank.
