We used this hotel as a place to sleep for which it was excellent. About 10 to 15 minute walk from the station which for us was great (when not raining). We didn't have breakfast only because we prefer to sample local cafés of which there are a few very close.

Room was quirky but clean. Parking was easy and free. Check in was a little wonky as reception was a little hidden. The walls are suuuper thin. The bed was comfy and the shower hot.

Staff were very welcoming! The hotel was very clean, nice decor. A good selection of complimentary snacks were in the room. There was renovations going on but this did not have a negative impact on the stay. I would definitely stay here again.
