Travelled with family and small children
The hotel is in a great central location with plenty of good food options within easy walking distance. The on-site restaurant was also a real highlight, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On the downside, the surrounding traffic can be quite loud, which may not suit light sleepers. Housekeeping was a bit inconsistent — the beds weren’t made daily and we had to follow up for fresh towels and bathroom necessities. Car parking can also be a challenge when the hotel is full, particularly if other guests don’t park considerately. Overall, a good stay for the location and service, but a few operational improvements would make it even better.
