    The hotel was clean and perfect for my one-night stay. Julie and Becky on reception were really helpful and made check-in easy. I would happily stay there again when in the area.

    It's what you'd expect from a basic hotel. The room was clean, they provided the basics you need (hairdryer, towel etc). Staff were lovely. You don't go here if you want fancy or luxury. It's a hotel that does the job it needs to.
