Overall acceptable

We were looking for a basic nights stay and that is what we got. No food at the location (an oversight on my part when booking), but the beds were comfy. Walls a trifle thin, staff very friendly. Plenty of parking.

Pleasant stay

Lovely room at the top of the building very clean on the inside, so don’t be fooled by the state of the outside. It was dead quiet, no food available but options in close vicinity. Lovely welcome. Shower a bit tricky to work out but once you do plenty of hot water.
