It wasn't a terrible stay as it served its purpose, but i booked 2 rooms, months in advance and they were not close to each other. The free breakfast was very very basic....fruit, coffee and muffins. There was no extra bedding available for the sofa bed....in the room or with house keeping

Great place
Never stayed here before but I will return for another stay. The desk clerk was very pleasant and helpful. With the nice weather, we could sit outside on the chairs provided. Little traffic noise in this location. The room was clean and had all we needed. The room was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Support staff arrived in a timely fashion and made up the pull-out bed quickly when it was found we would be using it. There was a continental breakfast- that was adequate.

Comfortable stay
The room was pleasantly decorated, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable although the duvet/spread needed updating (was flat on one side). The breakfast was very limited and there was no place to sit and eat.. However it was good value and we would stay there again.

We chose for the location and it was convenient for our purposes. Very clean. Staff was pleasant. Housekeeping was indifferent: just replaced two towels and emptied the single wastebasket. Did not replenish the coffee station so we had nothing for the second morning. The included breakfast was simple but more than sufficient. An average but comfortable facility.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Bed and pillows comfortable. The bathroom was small, the toilet was wobbly. No coffee cups in room had to get some. Breakfast was disappointing, muffins were very dry. Even though it was advertised as light breakfast. Would be nice to have some fresh muffins, croissants and a toaster with bread and spreads.

The room was exactly as expected. Clean and spacious for our needs. It was relatively quiet and has plenty of parking. Unfortunately during my stay I encountered unforeseen circumstances and needed an additional night. The staff were incredibly accommodating and booked me another night without having to change rooms. The only CON was the lack of a fitted sheet for the bed. The sheet wanted to keep coming off and had to be readjusted often.
