“This Grade II listed building, originally built in the 1930s, retains many of its original Art Deco features; it is now a conference center as well as a hotel, and hosts monthly comedy and music events. With 50 en-suite bedrooms, the accommodations are comfortable, and personalized wedding planning services are also available. In my opinion, the historical charm and extensive event facilities set this place apart.”

Fantastic Stay!

reliable wificoffee facilityhistorical plaque
The hotel facilities were excellent. I enjoyed the TV, reliable WiFi. tea and coffee making facilities in my room. I noticed an iron and hair dryer were available but I didn't use them. I appreciated the historical plaque that shows the building's origin as an army Officers' Mess. The exterior is definitely from the 1930s, very lovely!
I noticed the double beds are somewhat small.
