I had a great time staying at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, modern, and equipped with tea and coffee facilities. The service was top-notch, and the staff, including the General Manager, were very accommodating. The location was convenient, being close to the train station and town center. The dining experience was decent but could use more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel's location couldn't have been better, directly opposite the railway station, which was very convenient. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfy, providing everything we needed. The service was attentive and went out of their way to assist us. However, there was mould on the ceiling in the room, which was a downside. The local ales at the hotel served were a nice touch, but the lack of food service on a Saturday meant we had to explore the town nearby for dining options.

I had a cozy and incredibly clean room with a comfortable bed and a big walk-in shower, a good size to move around easily. The service was exceptional and went above and beyond, especially when my corporate card maxed out, they were very helpful. The location was ideal, close to bus and rail stations with restaurants within walking distance. The dining experience was friendly, but I missed having more fresh fruit and yogurt options. The facilities were top-notch, and the rate was very competitive.

The hotel is conveniently located opposite the railway station, making it ideal for train travelers and those relying on public transport. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and warm once the skylight was opened for fresh air, though the noise from rail loading and unloading on Friday night could be disruptive. The service was friendly and helpful, with basic menu options at reasonable prices. Dining could be improved with more choices and later hours for guests. The location near shopping areas and public transport is a major plus for convenience.
