Great place to stay close to everything. Rooms are quite nice. Bathroom needed a little attention. Need to put tea towels and dishwashing/dishcloth under sink as everyomne doesnt want to use the dishwasher. Also a clothes drying rack after you finish doing your washing, orva dryer in bathroom too. Bathroom needs a exhaust fan. Everything else great. Thanks

Convenient location. But had to move rooms because of an unidentifiable noise. Reception staff were all excellent and accommodating.

Stayed for just one night (arrived late and left the following morning). Very helpful night staff. Day staff not so helpful. Walking distance to centre. Bathroom a little worn.
