The room I had was dark, with hardly any natural light. The window looked onto a lowlit corridor that people walked past so I had to keep my curtains shut at all times. The closet had a musty smell, so much so I didn't want to put anything inside. The bathroom was old and outdated. It didn't look anything like the photos. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the location is very convenient. However, I'm very glad I was only staying for one night.

The positives…it was clean and the bed was comfortable. But…my sons electric key card wouldn’t work and he was locked out of his room for one hour, from 10pm to 11. There was no one on the desk to sort it out which was a big problem as his charger was in the room and his phone was running out of juice. Also…the shower…the owners really need to replace them. There is no sweet spot…either scolding hot or freezing. And the tiles in the bathroom, well one was missing so it looked a bit drab.

It’s tired, it’s very basic, clean and functional but not somewhere I would use again. It’s basically a motel, a room with a bed a shower and a kettle. TV is old and dated , decor is very worn. No bar, no breakfast just a room. It’s comparable to a Travelodge. At £75 it would be acceptable value but it’s hugely overpriced.

Mould in the grout in the shower. Lighting in the room was very bad, almost in darkness despite all lights being on. Cleanliness was very good, bed comfyl

Convenient location to Main Street. Welcoming desk staff. But..Safe did not work, room very dark and poorly lit. Additional desk lamp had no switch, needed to turned off at the wall each time. Shower cycled rapidly from too hot to too cold - impossible to stand under spray for more the 5 secs. Cannot understand lack of included daily service - requires additional 5 pounds per day for trash to be emptied, coffee to be replenished. Located on noisy walk through from Main street to parking area.
