Particularly during the summer months, some of these older, independent, hotels suffer as the result of lack of air conditioning ... or a system that doesn't function properly. Not a problem here. Rooms are at a comfortable temperature at all times.
The tariff is reasonably cheap because it covers just the basics of your stay. Parking is secure and locked at night, but it comes with an additional cost. So, too, does breakfast. It's worth investing in breakfast though: with really lovely homemade jams and good quality coffee.
However you describe them, some rooms here are very small and cramped ... but not all of them. Specify a larger room + you'll be very happy.
Beds are small and mattresses, hard. Windows aren't double glazed so you get endless city noise. This situation isn't helped by the constant comings and goings at the nearby car park ... and the neighbouring park area which specialises, it seems, in noisy pensioners!
