Lovely overnight stay
Perfect for our overnight stay. Well equipped with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. Great location, handy to city centre etc. We would definitely stay here again.

Our room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean but old. Toilet cistern was leaking.
Only real negative was although plates an cutlery were provided there wasn't a dishcloth or tea towel available to clean used items

Overall it was really good. The only downfall was the height of the bath tub was too high for stepping in & out of.

Absolutely awful stay. Despite saying I was on crutches was given a room with a shower over a bath. Bathroom was mouldy. Kept awake by drunk ppl in the room above mine till 4am. Fire alarm went off at 7 ( or something similar) which was loud enough to just about rock the room. So bad I just left after one night despite being booked in for a two night stay

Unfortunate invasion of our room by crickets. Very difficult to sleep with them flying around and landing in our luggage.
Staff very helpful.
