Stayed in March but decided to go a day earlier than expected to beat the snow. Nice hotel with good food and nightly entertainment. The location is perfect for tram and bus access being just across the road. The parking is limited so imagine in the summer months it could be a problem finding a spot. The rooms were dated... More

We needed a smoking room so I wasn’t expecting anything amazing and I was right, the bathroom was a little dated and the lock didn’t work on the bathroom door. Some of the wallpaper was coming away around the window but all in all... More
