I had a wonderful stay at the Mark Spencer Hotel, which is situated in an excellent area filled with dining options and within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms were extremely clean and had a lovely historic charm, making my stay feel special. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the fun daily wine receptions, but the breakfast area can get quite crowded during peak times. Overall, it felt like great value for money, and the pet-friendly policy was a major bonus for me.
