A good choice

Room was quite warm, even with air con on, but overall really nice room. Patking appeared secure enough. Staff were awesome and friendly. Our only complaint was the double ved seemed quite a small double and the matress was really quite uncomfortable but the room overall was lovely.

We only stayed the one night as we were going to a concert in the town centre and didn't want to drive home that same night. There was plentiful free parking and it took us only a 15 minute walk to get to the town centre. The staff were very friendly and check in was easy. Our room was clean and at best I'd describe it as functional (no frills) but it suited our purpose and I'd definitely stay overnight again - the check out a11 am was a real bonus as this is an hour later than most.
