Easy and helpful check in with a lovely lady at the front desk. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade since the room we booked wasn’t clean or available. Lovely quiet, clean, warm room with a beautiful outlook. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful with lovely staff. Great to have parking option available, though we were lucky to get one due to limited availability and it was at extra cost. All in all a lovely overnight get away with great access to the city centre a very short walk away.

We stayed for 3 nights. Super easy check in, staff were lovely. Great stay but I was woken up early by someone making noise outside our room - better sound proofing could have helped. There was a frame coming out of its place by the shower. Didn’t affect our stay. Would definitely stay again.
