Courteous staff, clean room, good shower/bathroom. Single bed is too small, good size room with desk, but no Wifi - signal too weak. All looks clean and modern in the entrance. Quiet location, well light and good car park. Food not the best but will get you by.

Hotel is fine. Standard, non descript business hotel. Room is Ok. But the wi-fi was so bad I had to go elsewhere. No connection. Not my issue as I connected in McDonalds. If reliable wi-fi is a deal breaker, think twice about booking here.

The pet friendly room we were allocated was the farthest possible from the parking area. This made it inconvenient for moving in and out though the staff were very willing to help. The main public area was welcoming and clean and the beer was good!
