    This is the third time we have stayed at the Sir Francis. It suits us very well for our trips. The rooms are much larger than the normal and as comfortable as you need them to be for a night. Cleanliness is great and staff are very friendly. ...

    It is a great option for a traveling family as there are rooms with multiple beds, dining table, microwave and fridge etc in room. Also when choosing the family room there is a second door (suite) to have the younger kids hit the hay early.
