Easy check in. Friendly staff. Room while a little small had everything we needed for a nights stay. Car parking was fine. Only issue while small was the noise of other guests talking loudly outside our room. Other than that we would happily stay there again.

It's a nice, cosy place to stay for 2 nights. Convenient walk to the main shops/cafes. The room is a little worn out, and can do with a refresh, but the staff's excellent service and friendliness more than made up for it.
