Acceptable stay overall

good location varied options helpful staff tired corridor high price impossible connection
The location was really good. Everything was within walking distance. Breakfast was excellent. The options were varied. Staff were helpful AND friendly.
The corridor to the rooms looked tired. It COULD do with a fresh coat of paint. The room was a bit expensive. I found connecting the TV to the wifi was impossible.
