Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which made for a cozy stay. I particularly loved that the hotel was housed in a charming old Victorian police station, adding a unique touch to the atmosphere. However, I did notice the breakfast crockery was a bit dirty, which detracted from the dining experience. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.
