Well maintained hotel and easy to get to the city central. We were not initially allowed rooms next to each other, although was requested when booking. However, Brian at the reception was very nice to accommodate the our rooms on the same level and made our stay enjoyable. The restaurant and Bar was great. The person serving at the bar was very friendly and made some amazing drinks for us!
