Lovely historic property in lively town. Room was comfortable and well maintained. Hotel staff were cheerful and helpful. Facility was not as up to date as some. We still received a physical room key - which was a fun change. The bar downstairs has live music and so was a little loud, and there were people in the hallway late at night making noise. So if you are looking for a place that is very quiet, this would not be your place.

When I got to my room the bathroom had pubic hair all over the floor and inside the shower lay two muddy show prints on the floor. The TV was also broken.
