Staff were fine; friendly, courteous to a fault. No problems there. Parking....had to park a street or two away....ummm.... Room smelled like cigarettes when I walked in, had to open window to air out. Could NOT figure out tv to access free to air tv. A small thing but a real pain. Food (pulled pork burger) was lovely and served quickly. Shower/toilet...only gripe is that only two seemed available, one more to spread the load would have been better. Otherwise, all good, thanks.

A quick stop we for us and we had what we wanted- a clean and comfy room with a fridge, kettle and tv. Perfect. Simple and affordable. great bathrooms too. If I had to say one thing that was missing it would be a light over the bed/bedside light. Will stay again

Great location and great food, but on the intersection of two main roads so it's convenient but unfortunately too noisy. Windows need to be triple glazed to keep the traffic noise down. Bathroom needs to be properly renovated and repairs done.

Nice clean rooms but noisy. You can hear people out in the corridors early in the morning. Kids run up and down and the doors are noisy. Small rooms but all you need as long as you are a heavy sleeper.
