"The hotel is in a good location. The bed was comfortable and clean. Fixtures and fittings are a bit dated and could use a refurb - especially the bathrooms. There was a strong smell on cigarette smoke on the floor and rooms, which i mentioned to housekeeping and was advised a guest might have been smoking, but it was more that than. Generally, this was good comfortable hotel and it was decent value for the price."

Rooms are neat and tidy but if a small bar fridge can be available it adds to a superb place. I loved to eat my breakfast there at an affordable price. This place is nice being very close to the city and shops at it was a walkable distance"
