Convenient and functional stay
great locationroom sizehelpful staff
The location is great. It's easy to find, right on the main road. The size of the room was adequate for my needs. The staff let me use plates and cutlery after I ordered a takeaway. This was REALLY helpful.
The carpet had some paint stains. There was also a slight gap around the skirting board.

Underwhelming Experience

The room size was smaller than I expected, based on the photos. The TV turned on by itself in the middle of the night. It even switched to an adult channel at 3 AM, it was a shock. The hotel felt dated and needed refurbishment.
