The hotel is situated in the heart of the town center amidst numerous bars and local pubs, which might cause some noise disturbances. The rooms offer a good hospitality tray but lack a lamp or bedside table. Dining provides locally sourced delights including the best eggs ever, but the fried fish was a letdown. Overall, a convenient location with some noise concerns and dining drawbacks.
