Good stopover, centrally located in town.

Beautiful old building. Room served its purpose for an over night stay with a shared bathroom..The hotel was centrally located in the town. We ate a lovely meal in in the restaurant in the evening and it was reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive. We had a continental breakfast in with the price.

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the Empire. The bar girl and our waitress in the dining room were so helpful and friendly. Our room was very comfy although one side of the electric blanket didn’t work. The creaky floor added character to the building. The entrance with its beautiful staircase and furniture was so beautiful . Thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the dining room and our breakfast the next morning. Would recommend this hotel to our friends.😊.
