convenient location, clean room

convenient location clean room extended checkout schedule flexibility

the room location was a great asset, providing easy access to my daughter's destination. the room was unexpectedly clean, a welcome surprise considering the price. i found the option to extend checkout until 1pm for £10 very beneficial. this flexibility suited my daughter's schedule perfectly, as her accommodation check-in was later in the afternoon.

The shared bathroom arrangement was unexpected. I was also disappointed to find the wifi not working .

Functional Stay Near Town

short walk good comfort thick curtains

the location was near town, just a short walk. beds had good comfort and thick curtains blocked the light well. i liked that extending the checkout time to 1 pm cost just £10.

the shared bathroom setup was not ideal. noise traveled easily, and the bathroom door made loud sounds until 2 am. this made it hard to rest on saturday night.

Good Value and Convenient Location

effective shower useful microwave small refrigerator soft beds

I appreciated the effective shower within the room. a useful microwave was also available. A small refrigerator was handy for storing drinks. The soft beds made a positive difference to my rest. I extended my checkout time, from 10 AM to 1 PM, for a small fee (it was quite convenient).

The corridor had a slight strange smell.

The hotel has quiet surroundings. The check-in process took place at a separate location, a detail prospective guests should keep in mind.

Rooms

The double room contained a comfortable bed. I found the room clean and well kept upon arrival and it had up to standard comfort. The room was perfect with everything a person needs during a stay.

Dining

While there isn't a dedicated dining area, the inclusion of a microwave and refrigerator in the room allows guests to prepare and store simple meals and snacks (quite a nice option). This setup provided me with the ability to manage my own dining arrangements.

Location

The hotel benefits from a central location, a feature I certainly found beneficial. Its centrality allows for simple movement around the town center. This location proved very convenient for exploring the town.
