Very old, limited supply. Our room is very small. Sink (in the room), toilet (with door) and bath area (with clear glass door) are separate. Space at end of bed not even big enough for a ck luggage to go through. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James 1 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice spot to stay 1night ##### James Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karin 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location!

Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside was that the ceiling fan and lights in our room did not work, and the bedding was too small for the bed. The top sheet and comforter were not wide enough to cover two people. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [4 Star Hotels in Oadby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Oadby-Hotels.s40-0-d5652.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cottages France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/France-Cottages.d59-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Pink Plantation House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castries-Hotels-Pink-Plantation-House.h39370874.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Limassol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pyrgos-Hotels-Parklane.h21841.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in French Alps](https://www.expedia.co.uk/French-Alps-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d3000655051-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Villa Sonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelmola-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sonia.h1498740.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Morocco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Morocco-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d122-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels.d553248634335196573.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Barnet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnet-Hotels.d179546.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Balcony Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Balcony-Hotel-Adults-Only.h3521913.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Budapest Castle Hill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Ibis-Budapest-Castle-Hill-Hotel.h29142783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Splendide Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lugano-Hotels-Hotel-Splendide-Royal.h24059.Hotel-Information) > > [Placemakr Music Row - Vanderbilt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nashville-Hotels-Cadence-Nashville-Operated-By-WhyHotel.h71745026.Hotel-Information) > > [One Resort Aqua Park & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monastir-Hotels-One-Resort-Aqua-Park-Spa.h76135331.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Vanderbilt-Hotel.h11715.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Bedroom Apartment, Sunset Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-1-Bedroom-Apartment.h33140591.Hotel-Information) > > [Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels-Lopesan-Costa-Meloneras-Resort.h695846.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Delhi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delhi-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180000-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kings Cross St. Pancras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Cross-St-Pancras-London-Hotels.0-n6047476-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ZIN Canggu Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canggu-Hotels-ZIN-Canggu-Resort-Villas.h29369178.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from st johns intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/yyt/flights-from-st-johns-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/iom/newcastle-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Greensboro (GSO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/gso/london-to-greensboro) ### Packages > [Madeira Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madeira-Island.d11326.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Luna Park Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luna-Park-Sydney-Milsons-Point.d6060975.Attraction) > > [Albert Memorial](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albert-Memorial-London-City-Centre.d6078951.Attraction) > > [Silk Street Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Silk-Street-Market-Downtown-Beijing.d6128776.Attraction) > > [Kentucky Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kentucky.d219.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Valencia Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Coast.dx6221333) > > [Visit Würzburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wurzburg.dx4410)
