“After looking into this property, the presence of a separate lounge area equipped with a kettle, microwave, toaster, fridge, and essential cutlery struck me as particularly convenient. It seems some rooms could use a closer look from housekeeping, but the potential for a comfortable, self-sufficient stay is definitely there. I think with attention to detail, this property could easily exceed expectations.”

The location proved convenient. The tv included freeview channels (always a plus). Self check in made arrival easy. Tea and coffee supplies were provided. Parking was directly outside the window. That was reassuring.

The location was genuinely convenient near the train station. The room included a kettle, microwave, toaster, crockery, and cutlery. There was also a FRIDGE, very useful. The walk-in shower worked WELL after a bit of figuring out.

The hotel felt somewhat dated and lacked a cute atmosphere because of the self check-in process.
