My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though fairly comfortable and peaceful, were on the small side with softer beds. The service was a highlight with extremely friendly and accommodating staff, but there were moments of lacking sympathy. The location was convenient for exploring Shrewsbury but could be tricky to navigate due to the one-way system. The dining options were good, though some aspects needed improvement. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
