The location of The Best Western was spot on for walking and transport. The room was a decent size however the bathroom left alot to be desired. You could bearly move, there was no room between the toilet the hand basin and the shower door was so tiny a large person would have trouble getting in and move around, the hand basin was so tiny, when you washed your face or brushed your teeth the water went all over the floor. Very dissapointing.
