9/10 Wonderful! (280 reviews)
The hotel had been recently renovated and the design features were beautiful. It was a less than 5 minute walk from the bus station. It was a 2 minute walk to the centre of town. My sister and I would definetly recommend it to anyone. In fact we did tell people we met about it

our room was in a separate building from the main hotel, but the room was excellent, clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had breakfast in the main hotel, and also dined there one evening. The food was well cooked and tasty
