No information on WiFi in room, but it was available. Staff pleasant and room clean. Hotel a little tired in places. Breakfast expensive so ate out. Noisy building work going on, could maybe have offered some sort of compensation, drink or breakfast perhaps. Also water in room, but unclear if this was complimentary or chargeable. Excellent location
