Our room was nice and clean. The only thing was that we were on a bottom floor and it was very noisy from the upstairs guests to the point where we could hear them going to the toilet. Little offputting. ##### Naomi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lionel 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great spot ##### Lionel Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location.
