The hotel offers a clear view of the church making it a great spot for photos, although the rooms got quite hot despite the cold weather and noise from the heating and ventilation systems was disruptive. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, with special praise for Elliott's exceptional service. The location is excellent, right next to the cathedral and close to everything we wanted to do. The dining experience was good, with a nice selection of quality food, but there were some hiccups in service such as missing bacon. Overall, a nice place with some minor room issues and good service.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit small and faced the rear of the building, making them dark and airless, but I could open the window. However, the air conditioning units outside created some noise. On the plus side, the room was well-appointed and had a trouser press.
