Property had ample parking. Good location: only a short bus ride to city centre. Room had lots of outlets for charging your stuff (big plus these days) 😄. Small coffee shop and convenience store just steps away. ##### steven Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nigel 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value I don’t often review stays unless they were really bad hotels or really good.

The room was small, but warm and had all we needed. The bed was comfortable. Only small complaint was the shower stall was small and the water pressure was weak. Front desk staff was helpful and polite. ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katherine 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Simple room with friendly service. Excellent service at check in and check out. Simple basic room. Good pressure in the shower but could be hotter. Excellent pillows but mattress a bit soft for me. Good variety of tea/coffee and toiletries provided. Some rooms face a busy road so can be a bit noisy at times but generally quiet and a short bus ride into the city centre. Great car park. ##### Katherine Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good car park space but room was small and noises Good location.
