The property was rated as 4 star but more like 1 star. The room was dated, paint off the walls, dingy and definitely needs an upgrade. The photos on the booking link definitely did not reflect the room we were given.

Clean and comfortable

Small room and a bit squeezy in the bathroom, but I don’t need much for a business night away. Loved the bin and window cleaner at the end of a long day, got rid of my rubbish and bugs off my windscreen. Nice touch.
