Budget is the key word here. The room was basic but comfortable and clean. Whilst it did represent very good value I felt the breakfast was poorly stocked. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was well located.

I didn't stay in this hotel as they couldn't refund my erroneous booking. I stayed in their sister hotel, which was disappointingly average. Lord knows what the budget version is like.

Hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. Shower was small, but had plenty of hot water. The only criticism was that the heater was not up to par, but in fairness, I did not report it to management. The breakfast buffet had a gluten free bread option. Also, it is in a great location.
