Overnight stay
Overnight stay to see daughter at uni, not much time spent in hotel, large bed, clean room, tv would have like two towels rather than share, body wash was dove so good.
Breakfast wasn’t great but it filled a gap.
Would I return, yes.

Overnight stay
Very comfortable room, huge bed and okay space for our dog. Breakfast was a little disappointing - no ready made porridge or fried eggs! Maybe it was because we were late getting there - it was 10am.

Friendly 24h customer service, but our whole room stank of blocked drainage. I don't know what they wash the bedding and towels in, but it felt like being in a chemical fire. Woke up with a tight chest. Couldn't wait to get out.

Don’t choose room above reception
Fab accommodation, room great, comfortable and clean. Only thing was we were above reception and smokers in and out of door all night & early morning.

Awesome value for money, incredibly kind and helpful staff. Good breakfast included into the price. We really enjoyed our stay there. The location is not the best but this is what we intentionally chose for available parking and lower price. Also I respect the pet-friendly hotels. Even though this time we were travelling without our dog, but I did notice that the hotel was pet-friendly and it making it even better.
