Whilst parking is available, the spaces are tight and made difficult if other cars are parked poorly. The lane leading to the parking will test your suspension, so go easy! The room itself was spotless with good heating and ventilation. It could do with a bit of modernisation and the floor are uneven. Its an old building so to be expected. Staff were friendly and attentive. I didnt have the breakfast but it smelt good as it wafted into my room!

Excelente location with friendly staff. The lack of an elevator was an issue. If you can't climb stairs, request a ground floor room. There's a nice river trail steps from the hotel. The Botanic Garden and many good restaurants are a short walk away.
