Most of all we liked the spotlessly clean unit we occupied. This made a big difference to our stay. The car park was spacious, easy to get our large vehicle in and out. The bed was very comfortable and the bed sheet white, clean and crisp. Location central to city centre, easy walk. Yes, we would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone ♥️
