The tv barely worked, and it was tiny, like they'd found it in a skip. the bed was like sleeping on a slightly deflated bouncy castle, with a noticeable slope in the middle. plus, finding the car park was a total mission. I swear, i needed a gps and a sherpa to navigate that back alley.

Convenient Stay with Excellent Service

ample parkingground floorfaulty lock
The room was spacious and included a double bed and two single beds. Ample free parking was available. It was easy to walk into the town centre (about 10 to 15 minutes). The receptionist noticed my luggage and my tiredness upon arrival.
Upon returning late one evening, the lock on our door did not function correctly. I am a locksmith and familiar with the subject. The key would not turn in the cylinder. The staff member offered another room after some discussion.
