Straightforward and Centrally Located
neat roomeasy accessminor adjustments
The room was neat when I checked in. I also found the location easy to reach the town hall by bus. there were shops and a Morrisons nearby, so getting food was no problem. I thought the staff really listen when guests ask for advice. They made sure I felt welcome and helped me find my way around.
The locks needs some minor adjustments as I found doors have to be pulled closed hard. This made me little bit worried about the security during the night, but it was okay in the end.

I would mention that the sound insulation from the street was not great.
