Tge building had an old charm about it yet had very modern and clean facilities. The staff were very friendly. It was very convenient for getting transport into the city and for car rental drop off at the airport. Food and drink was very good and very reasonably priced.

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful

Room was nice & modern. Good beers, food was classic pub grub. Only gave 4 stars because website said there was parking but it’s limited and only available after 11 when the pub carpark clears.

Very nice hotel, super friendly people, comfy rooms. Only issue is the parking space, very limited and some people parked behind our car, blocking our exit...but overall good stay in the middle of town with access to shopping and restaurants. Thank you!
