nice barclean roompowerful showerthin wallreception accessstaff interruption

The location proved quite convenient. i found a nice bar area, a real bonus for evening relaxation! the room was clean and the bathroom included a powerful shower. I really enjoyed that.

i noticed the walls seemed quite thin, i could hear neighbours talking, i must say. getting to reception felt a bit convoluted. a staff member walked into my room the morning of checkout while i was still asleep. this occurred despite requesting a late checkout, quite disruptive.

excellent locationfriendly staffadequately sized roomconvenient amenities

the location is advantageous due to its proximity to various amenities, i found a supermarket across the road, alongside several takeaways. the train station is also just a few minutes walk away. the room was adequately sized, i also noted the friendly staff. a nice looking bar was available.

the room felt a bit dated, it was still adequate. i noticed a faint smell of stale smoke, but i wasn't quite sure what it was. the price seemed a little high for what i got.

The car park was large. It was easy to find a space, and this convenience was helpful. I paid just £2 for parking, which lasted until check-out. This was a good deal.
