Location couldn’t have been more central. In checking in, Phil was super friendly & knowledgeable. Hotel and rooms were all very clean and comfortable. The door locks were very modern and felt safe & secure. There was even fruit, small selection of drinks and coffee included. We will definitely stay again if returning to Penguin in the future.
