Clean room. Made up daily. The noise from the road can be loud at night. The room was a tad outdated, but definitely nice and clean. I’d happily stay there again.

Hotel is nice and for most parts quiet. The property does have a Train line opposite it, and was a touch noisy in the middle of the night with the odd freight train. Other than that it is a lovely property that I would not be beyond staying at again.

Right on a main road, big trucks passing all hours. Opposite train tracks with long trains passing by at all hours through night too. Room not that clean with cobwebs around walls and ceiling, killed a large black spider. Old and tired accommodation, over priced!
