Liked: Staff & service
Staff are pleasant. A local racist drunk appear to frequent the hotel and cause harassment. Staff ill-equipped to address drunken behaviour. Limited breakfast options especially for alternative milk and vegetarian/vegans. Local infrastructure work does cause noise but with appropriate times. A fair distance from the station.
