Pros: Brilliant price Superb location People are lovely If the limited onsite parking is full, there is parking nearby Cons: The bar was very noisy on my 2nd night and a number of children left to run around the hotel. Going through the description, there is no mention of having a bar. It would have been better to have this information. The room could have used a fresh coat of paint.
