“the room was clean, comfortable, and very good value for money. The buffet breakfast offered a great selection and was enjoyable. We stayed for one night and everything met our needs perfectly. Although there was an additional charge for the car park, overall it was a great experience and we would happily stay again.”

“Comfortable hotel, just a few minutes from the station. Unprepossessing from the outside, the hotel is well decorated inside. The rooms are comfortable and air-conditioned. The showers are good. There is a good bar and light meals at reception - and good service there too. Recommended.”
