fantastic central stay

The location was perfect. Bars and restaurants were immediately outside. self-service check-in was easy. Directions and entry instructions were clear. the provided parking permit let us park in the pay and display car park just minutes away for free.
The mattress and pillows caused discomfort. They seemed old. the pillows were lumpy, causing neck pain. the curtains let in light from the streetlights outside.

Fantastic Stay in a Central Location!
king size bedclean roomfree parkingcentral location
The king size bed was really comfortable I slept so well. The room itself was also large and very clean I loved it. Free parking was readily available and that was really important to me. The location is superb right in the heart of everything!
The bedroom lighting was limited and that was a shame, it made reading at night a bit difficult.

The location was indeed perfect! i loved being right in the centre and so close to everything. the room was very clean! this cleanliness added to the comfort, it felt lovely to return to each day. the communication with the owners was great. Their responsiveness was so reassuring.
