"My sister and I stayed here 1 night and it was exceptional! It's an older hotel but clean..and I'm picky! The bed was very comfortable...my sister wanted to take a pillow with her..LOL! The staff is what made our stay exceptional. Everyone we came into contact with was so friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was a plus..omelets were very good. Bar wasn't open late is my only complaint!"

Omni Severin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel. Room was a good size and well equipped, with a very comfortable bed. The cafe downstairs was well priced for a hotel. One point to note - there is a lot of construction work taking place around the property, which does make it a little noisy and dusty, but it didn’t disturb my sleep."
