    Beautifully decorated room, comfortable and great value. Was allowed to check in early, met with a really friendly face who couldn't be more helpful, and the wifi handled an afternoon of teams calls brilliantly.

    The room turned out to be a suite with lovely views of the Castle and Cathedral. The lady who checked me in was very friendly and efficient and I will certainly stay there again.

    Room looked newly decorated and though a small single provided everything needed apart from a chair. A folding chair would be the only option. Its location was central to everything. Checking in was straight forward.
