I arrived late at night, but it was nice that it was right next to the station. The staff were kind and polite. The room was clean and comfortable. I didn't check that breakfast was included, and only realized it when I checked out.

Great location once I had found it and a very clean, straightforward stay. I just some of the staff could be a bit more helpful. One person was very attentive and helpful, another could have said ‘scan your key on the black box in the lift to make it work, your key needs to go into the round switch as you enter the room (difficult to find in the dark) and I know it’s supposed to be minimal contact.

A great hotel very close to the train station and central to the town. Very helpful staff. I needed a prescription filled and the lady at reception was able to assist me with making a doctors appointment for the same day which I’m told can be difficult for new patients. I know she had to ring around.
