I found the location very easy to access and there was parking available. the room i got was surprisingly big. there was also a small kitchen, complete with a microwave, and all the basic things i needed. the bathroom was my favourite. It was modern and cozy!!!

I noticed some dust around the edges of the carpet in the room. also, the iron had quite a buildup of dust on it. i found work tools under the bed. Someone must have left them there from a previous stay. i also noticed some hairs on the mattress protector.

The room was well equipped. A toaster, microwave, and kettle were all included. The bed was comfortable and i received complimentary border biscuits alongside the tea and coffee. The room and ensuite were very clean, and nice towels alongside complimentary toiletries completed the picture.

The music was too LOUD. It reverberated through the whole building.

Although my arrival was late, the chef prepared a generous, tasty plate for me. The meal was perfect with my pint, even though i ordered close to closing time. That was great.
