The room felt a bit small. the bathroom could have been cleaner. I noticed some grime around the shower tiles. also, the noise from the street was noticeable late into the night. i could clearly hear traffic and people passing by. this affected my sleep quality quite a bit, disappointing after a long day.

Acceptable Stay

The breakfast was good. The staff was friendly. the location is close to the city center. It was a good value overall.
I was not able to get into the car park. I had to park down the street. The room had loud music and people from the bar, so I didn't get a lot of sleep..

comfortable Stay

helpful staffample optionsgreat locationaudible music
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast included ample options. The location was great. I could easily walk to the town center in about ten minutes. (i really liked the town)
The music from the pub downstairs was audible until late in the evening. It was mostly soft rock from the eighties, SO not too bad, but still a little distractive. I am very sensitive to the noise (it is my personal issue).
