Lovely overnight stay
Perfect for our overnight stay. Well equipped with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. Great location, handy to city centre etc. We would definitely stay here again.

Basic accommodation but is appropriate for a one night stay.
Old large room, clean, tidy and with all the features you’d expect. Added bonus of on-site Asian restaurant with lovely meals.

Way to noisy can hear every single person who drives past
Traffic and also people .
can hear the traffic lights going all night
As for the room needs maintenance taps dripping
Not enough power points and what ever happened to courtesy water for people last thing you want after a long drive is to go out and get basic things
Tea and coffee facilities need to be restocked pillows uncomfortable lucky to hav we got a few hours sleep poor
Restaurant was really nice food wise service was lacking not busy had to intervene for a older couple who sat there for almost 30 minutes just waiting to take their order not good
