Really good Stay Experience!!!

top-floor roomfree chocolatelarge shower

The top-floor room was well-appointed. I found the beds comfortable plus the big widescreen TV awesome. The fridge included free crisps, chocolate, and water! I used the kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. The air conditioning worked really well. The bathroom had a large shower with good water pressure.

I found the car parking charge of £10 for 24 hours a little inconvenient, even with the validated token.

The room had a light and airy feel to it. It featured plenty of storage space. A nice sofa was great. The bathroom extraction fan worked well, keeping the space steam-free after a shower. I was happy with the roomy shower that had great water pressure.

The receptionist said when you pay for a standard room you get what's given. I booked a double bed and was given two single beds. I spoke to reception who would not resolve the issue.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated the location as it was close to the train station. The hotel is right across the street. There is also a supermarket nearby. It was convenient for getting supplies for my trip..

My room faced a supermarket. It did not offer a particularly scenic view. The breakfast buffet had some issues. The eggs were undercooked. Also the salt and pepper shakers needed a wipe.
