This hotel is more for a corporate gathering than a family gathering. It was clean and the front desk person was extremely friendly. However, the bar was loud and service wa not the best. There was a private event on the top floor that wasn’t marked private and loud music played into the early morning hours.

It’s a decent stay for the price. The property is starting to show its age and the health club was out of commission during my stay. Included breakfast is good, not exceptional. It’s a short walk to the city center and all the great restaurants and pubs so not bad overall.
