Excellent hotel and great value

Great location, very friendly staff. The hotel was very clean and had a great breakfast selection although those expecting a full English will be disappointed but they cater to the international traveller. Extremely good value for money. The location is also excellent upon arrival our concerns where it may be noises however the room was extremely quiet and great air con too. Would definitely return.
