Check-in was straightforward. The staff demonstrated friendliness. The room presented as clean and tidy. Instructions were clear. I found great value for the money spent..
I had to carry my luggage up two flights of stairs. The decor appears dated and a little unclean. The room key was a traditional type, which required some effort to operate.

the staff downstairs created a cute atmosphere. drinks at the pub were a great value. i always choose this location when staying in the area because of the value. the proximity to everything i needed was great (it made exploring easy).
i had to carry my luggage up two flights of stairs. the key was an older type, a little difficult to use. the room smelled strongly of a chemical spray. the bed made noise whenever i moved.
