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 double room i stayed in included toiletries , and this was such a kind and unexpected touch. i noticed shared kitchen facilities were available , and this added to the feeling of convenience. the bedding was very fresh and clean.

a really good one night stay

safe access great location good value useful code

the pub looks lovely and it is really safe with access codes. the room had everything i needed. the location was good to shops and other places. the value was great too and i would stop again i think.

i felt the lighting was too bright. adding bed side lamps is a bonus i think.

Excellent Stay

friendly staff easy access ample space ideal location

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.

the hotel is located near several points of interest. it's about a mile from the city centre. the walk passes through streets with buildings covered in graffiti, and the area felt safe and accessible.
