I was very impressed on how spotlessly clean it was and the little lounge at the front with a coffee machine was nice and cost. The tea/coffee making and even a toaster in the room was a nice surprise as well.

The lovely man who checked in (unfortunately I didn’t grab his name) my mum and myself for our one night stay made our experience 10/10. It would be the hotel’s loss to ever lose an employee like him! Super friendly service! The room itself was perfect size for my mum and I. The staff organised 2 single beds for us before arriving without any hassle, along with the extra towels we requested! We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.
