the location proved quite convenient near the railway station. i found several food choices nearby including a sainsbury's just a few steps away. the staff were friendly.. i appreciated the bar and cafe located on the ground floor.
i found the absence of a fridge in the room slightly inconvenient. i would have appreciated having this amenity available .

station proximity, a mixed bag

station proximitysmall roomlimited storage
the location was good because it was next to the station.
The cafe bar felt more like a station coffee shop. It was cramped with not many options. the room was small, and there was little storage space to open my suitcase. the live music was hidden away in a small lounge.
