The room was very clean and comfortable, and the shower and bathroom facilities were exceptional. The only minor negative was that I could hear the building's air-con/heating system all night which was very loud. I did not mention it as I was only staying for one night

Attentive friendly staff (a very big plus point - particulatly Keiron), lovely building and a nice big room that was clean (not perfect but very much acceptable) and had excellent facilities. Overall a good value for money stay and we would stay again.
