This hotel ticks all the boxes for providing a standard experience without any of the frills. There's a fitness centre but the bar is in the foyer so lacks atmosphere. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is nothing special but the food is okay and the staff were enthusiastic and accomodating. The restaurant ambience is aided by a local musician 'plinking' away on an electric piano accompanied by some quality humming!
The biggest criticism is that in their infinite wisdom the management decided to 'buff' the hotel floors at 4am in the morning which sounded like a herd of young elephants trumpeting for their mother. The apology was limited to an explanation that the work had overrun when it began at 11pm. Not really acceptable when the sound travelled easily to all residents on the first floor.
