Convenient hotel near the station. Rooms are clean, beds comfy, shower hot and with good pressure. There is a kettle in the room and a selection of tea bags, and unbranded instant coffee granules. Shame that the coffee offering in-room isn’t more substantial - whether coffee bags or pods - but overall comfortable and enjoyable stay.
