"A huge shout out for Mia, When I arrived at the hotel, I was tired, stressed and very upset and Mia made everything easy for my check in. I really enjoyed relaxing in the deep bathtub and letting go of some of the stress. All staff smiley and helpful. The hotel is nice and clean but looks a little tired. Great placement for airport but if you have an early check in beware ,the first shuttle is 3am!"

"Lovely little hotel. Got a parking space straight away, a warm welcome, and the room was lovely and clean. Nice shower with lovely smelling body wash. Breakfast is available for an extra charge and there's a bar downstairs which serves evening meals. If all rooms had slow closing doors, I'd give an extra star. Was kept awake because of late night arrivers slamming doors. Be aware that the car park is open to anyone therefore spaces aren't guaranteed. Would stay in an IBIS again."
