The room was spacious and very comfortable. I found the staff pleasant and helpful (from check-in to check-out). The breakfast offered a great selection of choices. I particularly enjoyed the freshly cooked options and the friendly atmosphere.
The stair carpet looked a little worn, showing some signs of age.

a solid stay

great locationhelpful staffdiscount appfree drink
i stayed for three nights, and the hotel's location was a major plus. it's close to the main attractions and shops, so i could walk everywhere (around 10-20 minutes). the staff were always helpful and pleasant (i always appreciate that). the inn collection app gave me a discount (which is always great) and a free drink.
the room was a little too warm for my liking, slightly difficult to sleep (but that's just me).
Rooms

the double room featured standard toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. the room was well-appointed with a good standard of cleanliness, so that was definitely a plus. full-length windows brought in plenty of natural light.
