Easy check in. I had asked for two single beds but when I got to my room the single beds were still in a king bed formation, However, a quick call to reception and housekeeping fixed the issue within 10 mins. Very central and close to public transport. Basic but neat and tidy. Beds were comfortable. I didn’t access parking as I travelled on public transport to get there. I would happily stay again.
