Clean, good location. Good for a one night stay
Pros:

Great for 1 night stay but the outside doesn’t meet the inside

Cons:

The staff didn’t know what they are doing. One checked us in and then when were out, our key stopped working. Another staff tried to check someone else into our room. Could have ended badly with valuables stolen

Pros:

Bed was super comfy, nice looking room, lovely staff

Cons:

we expected noise from the pub downstairs but the fridge in our room kept making a loud pop noise every few minutes. The shower also wasn’t great as it seemed to only get extremely hot or extremely cold. Bathroom could’ve been cleaner too (very thick layer of dust on the extractor & floor needed a Hoover). But for a night stay at the price it’s decent

Excellent Value with Great Beds and Pillows
Pros:

Check in was easy. Room was spacious with 2 excellent queen beds and the best pillows we've had so far. Room was well stocked with glasses and milk for coffee, as well as 4 free bottles of water. Heater worked well. Bathroom was spacious and the shower had excellent water pressure and hot water. On site restaurant was very good. Free parking behind the room with a second door opening on the parking lot. A really good stay at a value price. Easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

Cons:

A little bit noisy as it was on the main drag, they did provide earplugs.
