The room had a coffeemaker. This was very handy. i found the ensuite bathroom quite convenient. i slept soundly because the bed was comfy. the crisp, white cotton sheets and covers felt so refreshing. i liked the thoughtful touch with the folded end of the toilet roll.

the hotel is a bit out of town, but this was easily manageable.

Awesome Bargain Find!

The breakfast included plenty of options, so I was fully satisfied. It was definitely really good value for money! I noticed that the staff cleaned the room daily. I got fresh towels. The price was really great too. It was a fantastic bargain for a quick getaway. The bar was also a plus, I could relax.

The dated decor needs a little updating, though it was perfectly acceptable for a short stay.

The hotel offered public areas for relaxation. a bar with entertainment, though not many guests used it. Bus stops are close. They provide easy access to the town. It's super useful, isn't it!

My room had two pillows, one thick and one thin. I loved having options for my comfort. The towel rail was conveniently located near the bathtub. The flat surface next to the tub held my toiletries.
