Nice location walking distance to Octagon, Railroad station, and bus stops. Rooms well appointed. No Air-conditioning - however windows open and the night air was comfortable even in January. Particular enjoyed 2 meals in their pub. Be warned that most places are closed Sunday evening; hence our second meal!
