The location was central. It was easy to access many attractions from there. The staff was nice and helpful. They offered quick assistance when needed. I especially enjoyed the live music in the pub. The guinness beef stew was delicious, with very tender and flavorful meat.
The noise level was high at night. I could hear shouting and music. It made sleep difficult.

The bed was very comfortable. The location provided excellent value. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the room.
The noise at night was significant. It is something light sleepers must consider. The bathroom extractor fan had a lot of dust, clearly not cleaned recently.
