Very good
The stay was very pleasant; the room was spacious, beautiful, and bright. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice to find a kettle and cups to make tea, along with some typical biscuits. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness, but overall, it was excellent.

Adequate
The staff were helpful, but there weren't enough of them and waits for service were long. The hotel was a little shabby and could use an update. It was reasonably clean and comfortable enough. Other than the long wait to check in, no complaints. Everything was ok.

Below par
Unfortunately., the hotel is below standard and won't be back. The only positive thing is that it was clean but not to a particularly high standard. Really needs some money put in to it to improve the room. Would rather pay more and have a nicer room. Sorry

RE: To Each His/Her Own
Pretty stark & tiny in basement with no windows or amneties. A place to sleep only. Convenient for walking if you are interested in sites in that area. If you want to walk to any store, pub, restaurant, etc, be prepared to walk 45 minutes one way.
