great locationhearty breakfasthelpful staffdated roomworn furniturelimited view
the location was awesome. everything i wanted to see was super close by. i had a hearty breakfast every morning (especially the scrambled eggs!). the staff were always smiling and ready to help.
my room felt a bit dated. i saw some wear and tear on the furniture. the window faced a wall (bummer!). the gym equipment could use an update (some of the machines were a bit creaky).

The building exudes significant charm. A full hot breakfast menu offered options like a full Irish breakfast. The train station is close to the hotel. I also found the discounted parking around the corner nice.
The restaurant staff was unhelpful.

The hotel location was great near the station. A bus station was directly in front of the hotel. I did like that many restaurants and pubs were also nearby. All are positives for me.
Breakfast service were lacking for me. I waited quite a while to be shown a seat. I also waited a while to order. It was very disappointing.
