i found the breakfast fabulous, especially the ample choice and quantities offered. the room i stayed in was looked super fresh, a point i greatly appreciate. the hotel also had free parking, a significant advantage considering its location.
The key code for entry into the hotel changed daily, yet i was not informed on the second day. this caused some inconvenience. I was left standing in the rain trying to get in after an evening out. the listing suggested room selection but upon arrival, i learned this was not possible.

The staff was super friendly! I especially loved the gorgeous period hotel with wonderful features. Breakfast was fabulous, and the breakfast staff were really polite and helpful. Parking was very convenient here.
The wifi was completely unstable. It made browsing almost impossible :(

Breakfast was served fresh to order, which i thought was awesome. Guests can have as much breakfast as they can manage, really a great service. I believe it deserves recognition.
Location
9/10
The hotel is just outside the busy part of the city limits. It is still within walking distance of the main shopping and entertainment areas. The national express stop is very close, that's very helpful. There are a couple of pubs nearby for drinks and food.
