central location lovely staff convenient parking small room missing kettle noisy environment

The location was very central I found the staff lovely. They were very friendly . The parking facilities were also very convenient for me.

My room was smaller than I anticipated I did not have a kettle. It was very noisy I think it was not the most pleasant place. I only needed somewhere to sleep for a few nights it did the job.
