excellent locationhelpful staffquick responsesmall roomno seatingstreet parking

The location is excellent with cafes and restaurants nearby. i found a tesco supermarket conveniently close. the staff was amazing. They were helpful and responded quickly.

the room size did not match what i expected for a beautiful double. there was a lack of seating apart from the bed. i also found that street parking in the area was not ideal.
