6/10 Okay

The staff were ok, very minimal interaction, room was clean bed was reasonably comfortable, although the shower mat had pubic hair under it and there was no hot water both in the shower and from the sink!! not good when wanting a shower. the toilets were shared so other guest not cleaned after use!!. There is no parking at the property but the local carpark was free after 5pm so not that much of a worry. i wouldnt stay again but for 1 night it was ok. location is great any easy to get too.
