Ideal location, friendly honest helpful staff, great facilities. Unfortunately we had accidentally damaged an ottoman and they were willing to charge us the sale price for it’s replacement and fuel to collect it instead of keeping a larger amount from the deposit. We will be back.

Bed is very budget and uncomfortable as are pillows. Room is in need of some love. Bathroom clean in the middle but not around the edges. Shower has great pressure. Zero luxury. Location was good for us. Won't stay again.
