Yup would recommend

Great place to stay, has a bar & restaurant on site, and also others nearby. We had a nice room here, and what a great idea to have free laundry, and a fridge in the Hallway with Milk & ice available! Saves going to reception. Would definitely stay again. Free parking available across the road and around the corner a little bit in a parking building but better than out on the street.
