The only knock I have is there were other guests staying downstairs that were outside smoking that were quite loud late at night. I had to go outside and ask them to keep the noise down. Maybe have a designated smoking area away from the rooms so as not to disturb other guests. Otherwise a great place to stay.

From the second we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. We were allowed an early check in and enjoyed a cool refreshment from the mini bar in reception. I would definitely stay again and can recommend to anyone looking for a quick stop over.
