8/10 Good
"This was what you would expect for a three star hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was a good size with a nice outlook and a comfortable bed but the decor was a bit tired. The breakfasts were good and cooked to order. The evening menu could be more descriptive as it was not clear exactly what was included."
