Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back.

Pros:property is very close to the main highway. Property is close to train station. While its not 5 star,beds and rooms are clean and comfortable. Cons:Parking is average but due to location is not really the fault of the lodge. Lodge is right next to the train line.
