It is what it is, cheap and cheerful accommodation. Room could have been cleaned to a better standard. You might need a set of earplugs was a constant banging of doors until midnight and a fan of some sorts running outside the room. Single room is very small and bed was lumpy and I felt like I had to climb into the bed. En-suite facilities were ok but shower cubicle and head were not clean. Breakfast was cooked fresh and was ok. For the price, you can’t go wrong but with a little bit of general cleanliness and tidy up it could be a fantastic place to stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/095c03cf-2b08-4d12-935c-d7fdd95e85f5-1747472672736.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sheri 13 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Small but nice room for the price and convenient to town. ##### Sheri Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOHN 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The lady who worked there 24 hours a day brilliant Great place ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Judith 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Room comfort #### Okay.
