Would never come here again, got charged 200 extra for deposit that they said would be given back to me in morning after room was cleaned. The lady tried saying we’re not getting the money back because we had a couple visitors for 20 minutes while we got changed before we went out together

I stayed here previously as it's clean, well located and easy walk to restaurants, transport, shopping etc. We got a warm welcome when we arrived and they could accommodate a slightly early arrival. Unfortunately this time it was expensive for what we got, it is dated and I would consider it 3 star not 4. Carparking is outside the doors but not allocated and we got the last park when we arrived. Room 1 is accessible but being.in the corner can feel very closed in if large vehicles park outside. Lots of little things (heating couldnt operate when we were out so we had to return to a cold room, hairdryer attached to the wall, minimal bathroom supplies, TV didn't work, dark entry, evidence of a previous guest etc), took the edge off our stay and, regrettably, I wouldn"t stay again.

Overnight Stay

Pros: Great pillows
Cons: Nothing
Location: Right near all the eateries & city
Lovely people, very friendly and remembered me from my last stay here. The room was spotless, nicely appointed and the heatpump made an otherwise chilly night very comfortable. The current magazines were a nice touch too
