Amazing property! Only stayed one night as travelling around areas, but definitely the best hotel out of all the hotels we stayed in including premier inn. Highly recommend
Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Brilliant location and the free parking excellent. Staff quite attentive. Room nice but tight if carrying luggage. Good value.
Todd, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was perfect and very clean. Great location. Check-out time of 11am was great, however this was ruined by the housekeeping team who were chatting very loudly from 9am. I understand they have to do their job, but I don't think it is necessarily to be shouting and laughing between rooms, when they are aware guests are still trying to sleep? Anyway, overall I gave 4 stars, would have 5.

Amazing apartment, really comfy.

Stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment, the place was spotless and really well decorated inside, probably better than my own home.!
chris, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay for a one night stay but a bit run down

Furniture in room has some significant wear and tear. Shower is tiny (like a small telephone book). Bed was clean and comfortable. Bar only takes card (no cash). Lobby run by same person bartending.
Bed just fits room.
Tiny shower and no place for towels except the sink.
Worn furniture
Wall dirty or marked
