We were able to check in early and the room had clearly just been cleaned as it smelt very fresh. Breakfast was good for the price and had plenty of options. Easy access to the city centre via the bus and was able to park the car for free for the duration of our stay. I would stay here again if i was in the area. The only criticism is that the iron in the room did not work very well.

The staff were absolutely amazing! I couldn’t say one negative thing about them. Very helpful giving directions etc unfortunately we had issues with the cleanliness of our room and had to change. One room had what appeared to be blood on the wall. Very disappointed as this hotel is supposed to be a 4 star.
