Good location for town centre, station, etc. Good, clean and functional rooms. Comfy bed. Hotel has a nice bar for a drink before going out.
Decent selection at breakfast. Only negative - the scrambled egg was truly nasty! I have never tasted egg like it; it tasted like it was made of powder, very unpleasant.
Good hotel, good location - just avoid the scrambled egg!
