Staff member makes for memorable visit
This stay was the last night of a three week holiday which was planned last January as a stop over en route back to get our ferry. I thought i had prebooked parking but a change in their available parking meant i did not get a space. However Alexanne on reception came to rescue and not only gave up her space she also booked us a very good restaurant at short notice. Whilst Our room was very tight spacewise the hotel is lovely. i will know to book a bigger room. we had a super stay because Alexanne went the extra mile for us after our long journey. Thank you it made a huge difference.

Great hotel in former church
Really cool hotel in former church. Room was a good size and bed was comfortable. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Easy walk from train station, and right next to a large park, which is nice, but it is several blocks to restaurants and any kind of retail. Not an issue for us, but guests should be prepared for that.
