Yup would recommend

Great place to stay, has a bar & restaurant on site, and also others nearby. We had a nice room here, and what a great idea to have free laundry, and a fridge in the Hallway with Milk & ice available! Saves going to reception. Would definitely stay again. Free parking available across the road and around the corner a little bit in a parking building but better than out on the street.

The staff were lovely. The room was in desperate need of upgrading- no aircon so insanely hot, no extractor fans in bathroom or toilet. Would be better to have more supply of toilet paper and the option to use a cake of soap or liquid.

The standard room was dated and not as comfortable as the premium room I’ve stayed in before. But the hotel itself is great. Really nice staff, location and great facilities. Convenient car parking even if the parks are narrow. I still recommend the hotel.
