Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the rooms, which are large enough for a bodyweight workout, and find the beds comfortable. While some guests have noted that the bathroom can be a bit small, it generally meets expectations. For dining, many recommend the next-door pub restaurant or a short walk to the high street with its various cafes. its location is seen as very handy, with security lighting outside making it easy to keep an eye on your car from your room.

Very Helpful Staff!

helpful ladyclear informationprofessional servicesmooth handling

The front desk lady was helpful. She gave clear information and helped me find a great dinner spot when I arrived around 6:30 PM. I appreciated her assistance and professional service. The staff impressed me with their smooth handling of a difficult customer, and I saw one of the ladies helping an elderly man with his bags!!!

The shower area was quite small. The limited space made it a bit challenging to move around. Otherwise, the stay was fine.

Breakfast is available, and several restaurants are within walking distance. This made it easy to find something to eat. I found some great places with varied cuisines, so I did not have to drive far.
