7.6/10 Good! (31 reviews)
Excellent staff, very clean & spacious room & ample free parking. The beds are fantastic with good quality bedding. Good value & very cheap for that area. The only cons were that it is an old building & as a result, it was draughty & the heating wasn't on. No socket near the mirror making hair & make-up a guessing game. A desk & chair would be good to have for this too. I felt it is a work in progress & they'll get there! Overall a great value for the area
