Top notch hotel with a great staff. It has an old-school vibe which is very charming. Great pub next-door that is more locals, which is nice versus all the tourist traps along the street.

A very comfortable stay! Breakfast was great, very friendly staff, and a great location! One weird thing thing tho- rec'd a message thru expedia from the hotel asking if we needed parking. We did, I replied and heard nothing back. We discovered a pay lot directly behind the hotel which was ideal. Useful info for future guests. Walls a bit thin- we used earplugs!
