Hotel is easy to find with adequate parking, staff were all polite and very accommodating with our very late arrival (2.30am)! Rooms are clean and well equipped if a little dated. Good value for money.

My 5th stay at this hotel. Everytime is good. Wifi is slow, breakfast hit and miss i guess due to staffing. When it is full breakfast it is great. If it is the continental, i would probably give it a miss.

Although an unusual building, looking like a school or offices, it was absolutely fine - warm, comfortable and quiet, which is all you want for an overnight stop. We were a little apprehensive becuase it was so cheap, but the reviews said it was fine, which it was, hence a bargain
