You get given a towel at reception if you need one, you can pick up shower gel and shampoo and you can help yourself to tea and coffee in the reception area, ni brewing facilities in the room. The room itself was very clean with the basics you need, desk, wardrobe and some shelves if you're staying longer than a night. Bathroom was very clean and shower was decent. Overall a very good stay."

"Stayed two nights in a female only room (4 beds). Convenient location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Room, bed sheets, towels and bathroom/shower were all very clean. Got all the essentials needed (hair dryer, shampoo,etc.). A secure code lock was assigned for luggage storage, which is very helpful. The only thing missed was that laundry was not accessible on site. They have it in another location CODE—the Court. Overall had a wonderful stay. Felt safe and comfy as a solo traveller....
