Lovely hotel to stay in, close to bus and train station and in a very good location. Hotel itself was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helped us with anything we needed. Air Con in the room was a big bonus considering it was very hot outside so after spending all day in the sun and heat was nice to come back to a cool room. Would highly recommend staying here.
