the restaurant staff has the kindest heart, always ready with a smile and helping me in every way possible. the cooked-to-order eggs in the morning was perfect, a little love in every bite. the room was a sweet space and the bathroom was so spacious, i feel renewed.
I noticed a very little issue on my room. There was a light bulb out near the entry and was so so faint when i walked in.

helpful staffevident cleanlinessfair priceconfined space
check-in was straightforward with helpful staff. my allocated room met my mobility needs as requested. cleanliness was evident throughout all hotel areas. the car park cost £5, a fair price for the convenience.
the room assigned faced the back of the hotel. the space felt confined. a larger suitcase might have been a struggle to store easily. the bathroom showed signs of being dated.

the hotel location is excellent for transport links. a taxi rank sits just outside, and a tram stop is conveniently across from the hotel. these services make travel simple.
