Consistently Good Business Stays

clean accommodation good size bathroom excellent breakfast good choice
The accommodation was clean. The bathroom had a good size. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice on offer. Evening meals included a good choice too.
I noticed thin walls. I was awoken early from the sounds of a shower in a neighboring room. Loud staff conversations in reception added to the noise. This occurred at 6.45am.

Wonderful Stay!

wide selection cooked option spacious room convenient timing
The breakfast had a wide selection including both continental options and cooked items. My spacious room featured everything I needed. I really enjoyed the convenient breakfast timing, with freshly cooked options available over an excellent time range.
The front desk wasn't staffed after 4 PM, and that caused some trouble when there were loud pipe noises in my room. I found it difficult to reach anyone during those hours.
