This is the second time I have stayed here while on business, the staff are so friendly, the room is nice and spacious and bathroom nice and clean. Location is great with a short walk to restaurants and cafes and also the large shopping centre and train station also a easy walk. My only suggestion would be a mini fridge in the room and also laundry facility would be a nice to have. The free parking is also very handy. I would definitely stay here again.

Awful place - filthy and poor service !

Avoid this place like the plague ! Found someone’s toenail clippings in the bathroom - also excrement on the bathroom wall ! Shower didn’t drain as it was filthy with dirt and hair ! Hair all over the carpet ! Addressed with management and promised full refund - then reneged on it ! Keep away from place unless you can put up with filth!

Nice hotel

Very spacious and comfortable room. Clean and plenty of towels in a large well equipped bathroom. The only drawback was a very noisy extractor fan. Everything else was exemplary.
