The hotel has seen better days, with rooms in need of maintenance and some drain issues, but the bed was still cozy. The service was lacking overall, with only a cleaning lady standing out positively. The location is ideal for business near the university but not much else. Dining was hit or miss, with decent food but lacking in portions. Facilities were adequate but nothing special.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The great location on the High Street with easy access to the shopping center and the castle was a major highlight. However, drawbacks included the need for a deep clean of the rooms due to pending renovations, with stained carpeting and a dilapidated sofa. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff showing amazing friendliness and knowledge about food and wine, while others were unprofessional. The dining experience was lackluster, with issues like long waiting times for service and disappointing food quality.

The hotel is located right in the heart of town, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep. However, the service was lacking, with delays and confusion noted during interactions. The dining options were subpar, especially for vegetarians, but the facilities offered some value.

The hotel's location right in the center of town is epic for exploring. However, it can get quite noisy at night, impacting the overall experience. Getting there with a car GPS was a bit tricky due to recent road changes.

I was quite disappointed with the condition of the rooms at this large hotel. The decor was outdated with peeling paint, cracked ceilings, and rusty bathroom fixtures. It was uncomfortably hot, and the noisy fan didn't help much. On the bright side, the rooms were very clean, but the lack of proper amenities like pillows was noticeable.
