Dated but ok for a convenient one night stay with choice of numerous restaurants nearby. After seven years in boarding school and two years in the Army, I am not the fussiest person around so for me as a solo traveller this trip, it happily sufficed but doubtful that I would bring the bride of 54 yrs along. Can’t speak for other rooms though.
