It was perfectly adequate. It's not pretending to be five star, facilities are tired but the sheets are clean, the shower is hot and you get a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Blackout blinds let me sleep well past sunrise. And the staff were lovely.

Great accomodation if you are just looking for a bed for the night in an ideal location to town! Tried to check in early, but couldn’t until 2pm which was fine. Stuff were a bit flustered and weren’t all that welcoming. However, good stay overall
