Ok. I've stayed at better and stayed at worse. Room kitchen has seen better days and lacks basics like washing up liquid. Corridor carpet is filthy. Parking a bit of a nuisance as a third of the car park is cordoned off. Pillows could be harder. Fold up bed was uncomfortable for my son.

They did not have the room I booked and paid for. Said a sofa bed was included, but it wasn't when we showed up. Had a roll away bed, which was ok... But not great.

We had a very nice stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The room was perfect for 3 adults and our 3-night stay.
We chose this hotel for the location, close to family and close to transportation, bus runs very frequently. Also easy to walk to local restaurants and nearby activities.
