The hotel is located in the heart of Melrose, just a few steps away from the bus station. The rooms, although small, are comfortable, but the proximity to the bar's bathroom can cause some noise. It was a bit chilly upon arrival with no control over the heater. The location is lovely, and I would definitely consider booking it again in the future.
