In a quiet location and room was reasonable without being great. Bed was very comfy. Cleanliness was ok but the bath / spa didn’t appeal. The water pipes and / or the exhaust fan was really loud and needs work as it made a horribly loud noise within the walls

*You can get room service everyday, not always available in some places. *The place is super clean: the toilets/ shower is sparking clean. *The service is fantastic: We locked ourselves out of the room, on a freezing night, (at around 8:30pm) and the staff didn’t hesitate to come and open the door for us. The staff is very friendly and helpful. *Good location: - it is in the main road, few minute from the shops by car. - the offer return transport to some local venues. *There is parking in front of your room. I think you can get everything that you need in a hotel at the Ambassador Motor inn
