Positive: Location is fantastic so close to the train station. The room was very clean and lovely. The facilities are clean and good. Bathroom clean and spacious.
Negative: There are a lot of stairs 100 to be exact, but they do warm you about this. It is noisy above the pub even on a week night.
Summary: Location clean
