The location is excellent as it is near the bus station. Several pubs and food outlets are close by. I stayed for three nights and appreciated the proximity to city attractions.

The stairs were steep.

Mixed experience due to noise issues

unclear parking loud disco

The noise from the pub downstairs was quite disruptive (honestly). It was difficult to relax or sleep before closing time. Getting the key involved going through the bar area, which wasn't ideal. Parking was also unclear, so I had some issues with neighbors.
