Room was immaculate, bed was very comfortable and room was spacious with a shower.
The staff in Pub downstairs are very welcoming and friendly, plus drinks are great value.
I have stayed here twive and would always choose here if staying in Boro again for value and quality of the stay.
Clean room , professional dedicated staff who are hard working and impressively they've not taken up any small offers I've made that would have meant they would have had less work to do. I stopped suggesting things in the end because not one of them were interested and it dawned on me that that's why the property is so well managed and standards high . My offers made sense to me but to them it didn't and thats why it's a great success

Good location for shopping and transport. Great staff, clean room and I recommend to anyone who wants a budget price for a premium stay.
Its a nice comfortable place for the price. Its in a decent location, around the corner from the High Street, theres plenty of food options in the area also, some locals pubs too. If you do like a drink there is a cosy pub downsatirs that offers a selection of drinks a reasonable prices.
Came to stay for an early morning interview. Was on train and delayed so was worried I might not make it. The owners were great and reassured me. Clean tidy too. Lovely comfy bed and quiet.
