I had a really positive stay. Every member of staff I met was super friendly and welcoming, and check‑in was smooth and informative. I also really appreciated them keeping my medication chilled in their fridge without any hesitation. The room was clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is very convenient, with shops and places to eat just a short walk away, and the free parking made things even easier. Overall, a pleasant and hassle‑free experience that I’d happily repeat.

Good room. Very quiet. Communication in advance was a challenge and early check in is expensive for a budget room. However, it was a good and comfortable stay with friendly on site service especially from the man tending the car park on match day.
