My stay was very welcoming, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms neat and well stocked for a weary traveller. The breakfast was served in an excellent atmosphere wherby you can have a nice meal from the array of food. Iam very happy with the transportation links to places i needed to go from the hotel. Would visit again and I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Good facilities, friendly and helpful staff, convenient location, readonably clean. However, need to spruce up bathroom - usual black mould starting to develop around shower tray. Shower actually fell off although swiftly fixed by hotel staff.

Stay with older kids
We stayed in a room with our 2 kids ages 14 and 11. They shared a sofa bed which was a decent size but the mattress seemed quite uncomfortable - I could feel the springs through it. With the sofa bed set up the room was very cramped but was ok for a one night stay. Overall the room was very clean and the bathroom was good. Breakfast was a good standard for the price.
