excellent stay

large roomexcellent facilitiesfree parkinglate night music
my room was large clean and quirky it had excellent facilities right in the town centre i also benefitted from free parking and wifi . i liked having use of the mini fridge in the room which was very useful and convenient. i found car parking space was always made available when i arrived each day which was a real bonus.
i could hear music all night and i only slept about an hour this was due to the late night music in the area. also breakfast was included in our package but we still got charged for it this was later resolved but it was an initial inconvenience.

excellent stay with friendly locals

friendly localsdelicious foodroad noise
i am so happy i decided to go against my norm. the staff were very cute. the food was delicious. the locals, who came everyday, were friendly. we received lots of advice with our travels which were spot on.
the heating in the room didn't work . i told the manager it was dependent on the bar thermostat so i shivered in the room. there was massive road noise outside from around 6am. the building literally shook as heavy vehicles rushed past.
