Room was clean and tidy, as were the common areas. Room (203) needs a bit of maintenance, cracked basin, loose tap and loose door hinge. But these did not detract from our stay. Very friendly staff.

This hotel is excellent value. I had a room with an adjoining door through which I could hear everything happening next door. I raised it with reception and they moved me straight away - so excellent service too.
