Checkin was easy. Staff polite and helpful. Our room we were a bit surprised. The rooms look contemporary and smart in the photos but actually they’re not.

We stayed for one night on our way out of town. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean. The bathrooms could do with an update but for the price it was just what you’d expect and need. Breakfast had a good range of hot and cold foods.
