Nice place to stay

It was a lovely stay. Stayed with my little family for 3 nights. The room was clean and had nice heating, the cleaners came in and gave us fresh towels and cleaned up a bit for us while we were out, it was nice. Was very close to the train station and could hear the train but wasn’t a bother to us, they provided earplugs if it was though! Our bedroom had the bathroom connected which was the shared bathroom between us all. The walls are very thin so you can hear everything from the floor above you if you’re on the lower level. Overall, it was a lovely experience. If we were to stay again, I would purchase a bigger suite

Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back.
