8/10 Very good

We didn't have a lot of time but thought great value. Room was very clean which is always my main concern. Had a fridge and coffee machine which is helpful and ample space to work if needed. There is some car noise from the road if that bothers you (just the sound of cars going by). Friendly helpful staff, easy check in, parking available right by room.
