Location excellent for access to train station and buses. Clean room and very easy to control heat and air. Friendly helpful staff during 2 night stay. Left my glasses in the room when I checked out. Returned to me carefully wrapped and labelled. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room was in good condition and clean. There were 3 main issues with the room: 1. The duvet was a very thin summer duvet even though we're in the middle of December! This made it harder to stay warm overnight 2. The AC unit was very loud (even when off) - humming continuously and making loud noises at random times, which was very annoying and hard to sleep through 3. The front door and wall were so thin you could very clearly hear all the noises through the corridor - especially as my room was right next to the doors, it was very noisy every time anyone walked through. I got woken up from this in the night and early morninh

Was looking forward to breakfast, to set us up for a day shopping. The cooked breakfast was unbearable to eat. Would of broken my teeth trying the hash browns and bacon. So only had cereal. Very disappointed.
