Reception staff wasn't kind. I felt it was arrogant. I began to wonder if it was because I am Asian. Just one person...not everyone. The area was surrounded by major roads, which made it difficult to get around without a car.

It was expected, affordable easy car parking and a comfortable room. The only fault I could find was the side lights on the bed were not independant. They were either both on or off which was inconvenient if one person wanted to read whilst the other wanted to sleep.

The property is good value and close to the Metrocentre with plenty of parking. The footpaths to the road are overgrown with brambles and there is no crossing if you get public transport into town. Beds are comfy and free breakfast is a plus.
