“The real draw is the warm, attentive service, especially the outstanding care from Mr. Sanjeewa; plus, you're a short stroll from the Cathedral and Marlowe Theatre. While the building shows its age and parking requires a bit of a walk, the rooms are clean and generously sized, offering good value. It's a solid choice for a city visit focused on convenience and a personal touch.”
