The hotel is in a lovely area by the brewery, but unfortunately, roadworks happening all night were disruptive. The hotel is close to shops and not far from the railway station. The rooms felt like a cupboard and had a strong smell of smoke, but they did have a TV. The service was on point with a housekeeping service and a welcome drink provided. The dining consisted of packaged products, which wasn't ideal. Overall, the location was convenient despite the roadworks noise.

The hotel is situated in the heart of the town, close to the railway station and on the high street. The rooms are a bit dark with no windows, giving a cupboard-like feel and a faint smell of smoke. The service is decent, and the welcome drink adds a nice touch. The location has the advantage of being near a beautiful area by a brewery, but the downside is the disturbance from roadworks happening till late at night. The dining offers original dishes, but it's not included in the stay. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement.

The hotel has a convenient location within walking distance to the station, making it a great spot for exploring the town center. The rooms, although lacking windows, featured a TV and were clean but had a lingering smell of smoke. The service was excellent, especially with a welcome drink upon arrival. Dining options were not included, but grilled dishes were available. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with some room for improvement in the room ambiance.
