    All went well. Meant to let you know that there is a loose cream tile in mid floor area of bathroom. The moisture is getting in underneath it and wanted to let you know for maintenance reasons.

    Location is very central, across the station with the town centre round the corner. Room is fairly small but warm with a very comfortable bed. Staff are cheerful and helpful. Great continental breakfast, good value.

    We had an awesome stay here. The hotel is very vintage, but it's a very nice place. The library is also very nice. The bathroom is a little bit small, but it's clean and nice. The room is clean and warm. And the breakfast is awesome.
