i felt welcome there. the staff were friendly and polite. the room was very clean! i'll definitely choose this place again, especially after such a positive experience.
i could hear loud guests during the night because of thin walls. they also slammed doors in the early hours. some better regulation would have been appreciated though.

the staff provided assistance with luggage upon request. the car park located at the rear of the building offered convenient off-street parking. the room had a television with standard channels available. i also found a selection of beers on tap at the bar.
the bathroom looked somewhat dated, lacking a heated towel rail. however, this was a very minor point .

friendly staffearly check-inconvenient locationcleanliness
The staff were friendly! They provided early check-in assistance. I found the pub location surprisingly convenient. A simple walk led me right into the town center. The family room, occupied by my son and me, offered abundant space and pristine cleanliness.
The room was slightly smaller than expected.

The pub downstairs provided a lively atmosphere until late, with loud live music until 11 PM! Afterwards, people left noisily until midnight. This hotel offered a full English breakfast for an extra charge.

The bus stop is very close, allowing convenient access to the center! Free parking is available onsite. The hotel is located on the outskirts, a short journey into the town centre.
