The location is good, the hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly. We particularly liked the adjoining rooms which suited our family. Yes, it was a former hospital, but so what?! Admittedly, it was a bit odd that the restaurant was closed on the weekend, but there are plenty of places to eat in town. I'd be happy to stay here again.
