The location was advantageous. I could easily access nearby attractions. The breakfast provided sufficient choices , and I found it to be of good value. The staff was cute and friendly. I felt comfortable .

The hotel's exterior did not present an appealing appearance. I found some communal areas looked scruffy , and they seemed to require refurbishment. Some furniture looked outdated , which detracted from the overall impression.

Vicky provided a genuinely warm welcome. The breakfast was excellent. I particularly appreciated the full English option. The room was impeccably clean. I noticed the fresh scent of fabric softener on the linens. The location provided convenient access to nearby attractions, yet remained quiet at night.

The exterior appearance could perhaps be improved.
