Great and central location to where we were attending. Good value for money. It is a little tired and needs a little work ie water damage to bathroom door which makes it very difficult to open, dishwasher a little bit falling apart. Staff were very obliging, friendly and helpful. Would stay again

Good location and spacious rooms, with a wide range of facilities including a dishwasher and washing machine. The beds were clean, but the room itself was not very clean, so if you’re looking for a spotless place, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it was a positive experience.
