central location helpful staff clean room noisy room soft pillow small bathroom
The location was central. It was convenient to get to shops. The staff was helpful. They answered my questions quickly. My room was a Standard Double Room. It was clean upon my arrival.
The room faced the main road. It was quite noisy at night. The pillows were soft. They offered little support for my neck. The bathroom was small. There was limited space for toiletries.

convenient stay near the station

clean room tidy room hot drinks comfortable bed
I received a very clean and tidy room. it included a lovely television. facilities for making hot drinks were also provided. I found towels, complimentary soap, and shampoo. the comfortable bed had clean linen.
The room i booked felt quite small, it seemed designed to maximize space. also, the window was on the ground floor. It faced the street near the front door so i heard every sound outside

Acceptable stay, some issues present

helpful staff good location worn carpet creaky bed
The staff was helpful. I found the location to be quite good, close to the station and not too far from the main shopping area.
The carpet in my room needed replacing. I was glad I had slippers. The bed creaked and the duvet covers seemed like they were made of nylon. It was really uncomfortable.
