    Nice stay for 2 nights, loved the location we could walk everywhere. Didn’t need more than just a bed and somewhere to shower so it was perfect.

    Its is right in town so perfect you can walk to to shops but get in early to secure a parking or park and wait for someone to leave.

    Room was good, bathroom somewhat recently renovated. Laundry facilities on site but didn't use. Parking is a little small but one can park on the street for free after 5 pm so it wasn't an issue. Plenty to do in walking and short driving distance.

    I met the cleaner when I arrived and had a lovely chat. She was super friendly and helpful. The location was brilliant, short walk to most places. It was a lovely clean and comfy room for the price. Good wi-fi.
