Hotel was pretty convenient, no hotel bar, but the bar on the hotel level was super terrible. Seriously couldn’t imagine a worse bar - they just didn’t want visitors. Hotel itself was pretty quaint, though the toilet blocked and initially our king room had a queen size bed (staff corrected this thankfully by changing our room). No evening housekeeping.
