Good hotel and location. Having been asked which slot for breakfast, quite a few items were unavailable in that slot and weren't replenished such as bacon and fruit. Staff did offer something else when asked but there wasn't anything else we wanted.

The hotel was perfect for our stay of one night. It is clean & had everything we needed. It is perhaps a little functional & the beds were far too soft.
We would use again for a one night stay.

The bathroom could do with a bit of TLC, door wouldn't close properly and the paints coming off.
Other than that was okay, as expected - although no bacon at breakfast.

I liked the hotel, clean and tidy. Staff is very friendly and location is ok. Room size is big and bathroom wired well too. Free breakfast in the morning is a good add-on
