Excellent option for basketball tournaments but will need to play for town laundry use if
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, comfort, quietness

Cons:

Toilet paper roll on arrival was very low with no spare roll in room and reception not open.
Laundry restricted hours (closed 6pm Sat and not open til 9am on Sunday) did not suit our teams playing schedule so I was not able to wash the uniforms as I had hoped, having to go to a 24hr laundromat at 830pm Sat night instead.

Travelling stay.
Pros:

Excellent place to stay. Beds were great. I have stayed there multiple times and have never had a bad experience. The pub is next door which over a great selection of food. Pool is available but it was too cold to swim. Pool was clean. We would definitely recommend this place to others.
