sour milk dated room
I wasn't impressed by the staircase. The lights there didn't come on when it was dark. I was unable to have a hot drink because the milk was sour. The room felt dated and could use some freshening up.

Simple Stay , Solid Value

late check-in convenient parking comfortable room
The accommodation offered convenient late check-in and parking directly on the hotel. My room was super clean and cozy, providing good value for the price. I found the relaxed atmosphere quite appealing. I could come and go easily at any time.
The shared facilities were rather basic.

Simple stay close to town

great location short walk useful information comfortable bed
I appreciated the location. It was quite close to the station. The walk to the town centre was short. The owner gave useful information and showed me to the bedroom. The bed was very comfortable.
Some areas would benefit from more thorough cleaning. but it didn't detract too much from my overall experience.
