Good property, clean and central location. Not much happening in the town over the 4 days we were there, lots of places closed for the holidays with the few remaining places open very busy and very limited facilities in the room. A microwave but only 2 saucer plates for example so we spent most of our stay exploring other areas. For a short stop over it was fine.
