Hotel Reviews
"For an overnight stay this is a great hotel. Friendly staff, relaxing, nice bar, good choice of places to eat, pizzaria very good. It has a good location for shops and entertainment. The main drawback is the antiquated decor in both the bedrooms and public areas. The fabulous staircase and chandelier were spectacular, but lost somewhat against hideous mismatch of patterns! Bedroom furniture and decoration definitely seen better days."
