Pleasantly surprised.
Very central location. Basic decor, but clean and tidy. A good selection in mini bar. Good menu in restaurant. Great breakfast included. The only thing missing is a lift for handicapped people. It meant my husband couldn't get to the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. We had to go elsewhere.

Great spot near the center of town. Clean and quiet, and while not a modern place it has been refurbished and is very clean, nicely painted and a quiet stay.
Oh and Karen at reception was very nice and welcoming.
