Nice old style friendly hotel in a great location and full of character.The hotel was undergoing refurbishment while we were there but it had no impact on our stay. Very pleasant room. Breakfast was good but lacked fried eggs. Parking via another company but no issues. Easy check in and out. We will stay there again.
