My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, but there was a lot of noise until late at night, affecting my sleep quality. The service was exceptional, with extremely friendly staff despite being very busy. The hotel's location was convenient, central to many pubs, but the street was noisy and lacked a view. The dining experience was fantastic with plenty of options, although a bit pricey. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
