hot breakfastgreat valueclose proximity
The staff provided anything i needed. They always welcomed me! breakfast offered a hot, bountiful selection. great value existed with close proximity to restaurants and grocery stores. it was five pounds to the train station. This was close when warm and when i had time.
I was told the restaurant was closed to me until 7:30pm because of a large group. Other people were eating, and i was told they ordered earlier.

Really good Service and Convenient Amenities

excellent attentivenesssmooth processvarietyconfined room
The staff demonstrated excellent attentiveness during check-in, ensuring a smooth and quick process. I requested a small note for my children. The staff surprised them with a handwritten letter and snacks. The breakfast options provided variety, and the location offered convenient access to local attractions.
The room felt somewhat confined for four occupants, even with the extra pull-out bed.
Service
9/10
The staff exhibited friendliness and efficiency, particularly during the check-in and breakfast services. One staff member proactively offered a grab-and-go bag, showing helpfulness and care for the guests. This enhanced the overall stay experience significantly.
Rooms

The room included practical amenities, contributing to a comfortable experience. The bed provided considerable comfort, and the ensuite bathroom had a great design. I found the space well kept and suitable for a short stay.
