Room and bathroom were very clean. One staff member was there when we checked in. He was helpful and friendly. Location was good but parking is limited around the building. We stayed in the smaller room which was a tight fit for 2 people and luggage. We would stay again but get a bigger room.

Good location with an enjoyable walk into the centre. Staff answered my many questions beforehand and were very courteous. We stayed in a family room, which was big enough and very clean. Would recommend highly. Thanks
