strong signal local ales convenient parking
The wifi signal was STRONG. I could stream videos without any buffering. The pub downstairs had a great selection of local ales. I also appreciated the convenient parking right outside ON the street.
The walls felt a LITTLE thin. I could hear some noise from the hallway.

city escape sanctuary

convenient location great shower clean setting quiet setting
The location was convenient for accessing the city centre , and i also found the coach station easily. cleanliness was very apparent , and the shower was lovely. the quiet setting was a welcome surprise . It felt more secluded from the pub than i anticipated.
i found the room to be quite small for two people , , made it a bit difficult to move around comfortably.

The staff was friendly and provided easy access to my room! My room with a double bed offered ample space. I found a convenience store across the street. It was very handy. The location was also ideal.
The lighting was a bit too bright for my preference! I would have appreciated bedside lamps.
