It's not the Sheridan but it's the next best thing I would recommend staying here it's just a short walk to the city centre, 2 pools to swim in friendly staff

This is a low-budget hotel, so the rooms are simple but well-aired and bright. The staff are fantastic! So kind and welcoming. And the hotel is well-positioned - 10 minute walk to everything.
This room was very basic but could have done the job if (I’m guessing) the maintenance staff weren’t banging, yelling abuse, coming and going constantly, entertaining, and get drunk or off their face on drugs in their area right next to the room we were allocated at all hours of the night
No other staff on site at night
Not a wink of sleep for us and an earlier flight… do not recommend, things need to change!
(Receptionist was lovely when we checked in)
The staff were amazing after coming off night shift and not well and got me early check-in , was able to have an awesome sleep before driving home the following morning. Excellent customer service and really appreciated the staff going above n beyond.

This hotel is old and dated, badly in need of renovation. In my bathroom, a patch in the wall had fallen off to reveal a dusty hole with old plumbing. The is no lift, so I had to carry my bags up to the second floor. Car parks are very tight. There is no dining facility.

Served its purpose as a bed for the night. Close enough to where the action is without all the hustle and bustle.
