Solid Stay

decent options warm room good food
I found the location useful to Broughton House for a concert. Breakfast included decent options and was good. The room was quiet and warm through the night. The staff ensured everything was ready for my early start. I liked the food, atmosphere, and location and would recommend it to anyone. I want to stay here again.
The bathroom had a window which was green with algae, that was not great.

Acceptable, but with issues

unstable toilet bowl weak flush
Breakfast had a good choice and was served hot. A friendly lady served it, and she was very helpful.
The room showed some shabbiness. The toilet was poor (it really was). The bathroom window had algae, the toilet bowl was unstable, the flush was weak, and a high step into the toilet was tricky.
