The property was very convenient to everything. The ammenities are becoming a little tired. Also they say a self service laundry is available !!! Unfortunately there isn’t one, and hasn’t been for over 2 years. So that needs to be corrected.

Liked: Staff & service
Just stopped here for the 2nd time in 6 months (2 x 3 night trips) and the hotel is decent but the rooms feel a little dated and the gym slightly lacking. The hotel breakfast is brilliant and the staff are helpful, the location is perfect right next to restraunts and shops. House keeping was non-existent in the 3 nights i stopped here this time around. I dont mind using a towel for 3 days but my bin got a little smelly after 3 days. I would stop again as its decently priced and does the job.
