Lovely location. Very comfortable bed. Have stayed twice and would stay again. Bathroom needs basic update. No towel rail and only a hook on back of bathroom door.
Does not match the pictures. Bedding needs to be cleaned as well as the drapes, probably carpet too . Lots of road noise. Would not recommend. Seems like they don’t care much about property.
Property was clean and quiet. Parking was always available. Good location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. I noted an odd number of spoons and forks. The bathroom, albeit clean was rather tired and dated. There was paint that was cracked on the wall was non repaired damage to the sink and shower. There was also a lack of steam extractor fan that had obviously previously led to fire alarms if the bathroom door was left open.
