Great location, but the night we were there the bathroom smelt like there was a septic issue (sewerage smell), and the bed linen was a bit off. It was clean, but pillows smelt like other people and the sheets could've done with replacing - they were not fresh and crisp

Our stay was great for what we needed, it was very cheap and it was clean and a good location. Car parking on site is very secure however tight in a large vehicle. The room did not have a window you could see out as there were privacy shutters so we kept the blinds shut, okay for one night but maybe not any longer. Staff were great. It is a solid 3 star hotel in my opinion and a good budget option.
