The hotel had a clear long history, but it could do with a complete makeover. The rooms were okay and bright, but noise from the main road was a big issue. The restaurant meals were not exceptional, resembling bar meals, and the breakfast was below par.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean rooms were a delight, but the issue with the heated towel rails making the rooms too hot was a downside. The hotel had great meals and breakfast, but the noise level from the kitchen and lack of ventilation in some rooms were drawbacks.
