simple but nice!

ground floor location helpful reception walkable distance

the room was spacious for two people, i felt it was a nice ground floor location. reception was very helpful when i asked for ice. parking was good, and i could easily walk to the city centre.

The hotel windows directly faced another room. Net curtains would have been useful.

a cozy haven for cherished moments

quiet place free parking cooked breakfast

i found the hotel nestled in a quiet, cozy spot, a short walk to a grocery store, so convenient! the hotel welcomes animals, a true blessing since we have dogs. the free parking was very helpful, and the cooked breakfast was such a treat.

i noticed that no signage was visible from the road in the dark. the reception team during the evening seemed not cute. it would be beneficial to improve the hotel signage for better visibility.

roomy and fresh

easy access friendly staff

the room was good. it was clean, roomy and fresh. staff were friendly and helpful, television worked well. there was easy access and parking. it was convenient to the west side where we needed to be on monday morning.

reception called a cab FOR me. i was charged £14 for a one mile journey, and that's double the uber rate. the hotel should not deal with a taxi firm that rips people off. i am very disappointed with this outcome.

Decent stay with some issues

mouldy bathroom warm room

I encountered a couple of issues . The bathroom had some mold and cracked tiles, rather disappointing. The room was also quite warm. I feel that the hotel could address these maintenance and comfort issues.
