The rooms are always spotless and the staff are always helpful and friendly. To be fair, the rooms could do with an uplift but you can't fault them as they are. The hotel is in a great location.

Great Position
Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It is within close distance to the Rail Station, Cricket Stadium & Town Centre. Staff were great & very helpful. Bedroom was large & comfortable & despite being near the road was fairly quiet. Bathroom needed updating but was large. For the price I paid, the room comfort, staff & location I would say this hotel is perfect & will definitely be staying again.
