An adequate no frills short term stay

A short 2 night stay to attend a conference, which was cancelled, so was very pleased to be situated very near the Hoe, shops, and other amenities. A little inconvenient having a separate toilet but at least it wasn't shared, and considering the price I found the staff very friendly and helpful, adequate breakfast and overall enjoyed my stay.

Kevyn

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

welcoming but a bit overpriced

Only parking available is 2 spaces, one of which is for the owner. A car was moved to make room, but not exactly the best welcome. Breakfast was average but the service was good. The room was in need of TLC. Ok stay, but not sure it’s worth the price.
