The room had a really good shower, comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly, house keeping everyday. Only things i can fault are, the room we were in was right by the road and all you could hear was the traffic 24/7 because its a main road & when we arrived at 530pm all windows were still open, room was really cold.

Pros. Cheap. Central location. Comfy bed. Clean enough. Last minute booking for an overnight stay. We were delayed on the road & called ahead. They waited 90mins past the final check in time for us, very kind.

It was very last minute so I was really happy with the accommodation. I felt it did smell a bit damp and the bathroom light wasn't working. I also found a hoodie hanging on the back of the bathroom door.

Staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean. The shower unit could have been bigger, but that’s me personally, the only bad item was the heater was loose and coming away from the wall

Not a great stay.

The room was spacious and clean, but in very poor condition. Rotten shower surround, moldy ceiling, curtains coming off tracks. Poor sound insulation between rooms, footsteps and snoring! We will not return.
