"Location could not be better. Room clean and light. My only complaint is that some of the pillows were a bit unpleasantly smelly. I should have complained but didn’t want to make a fuss."

"Staff were very welcoming. We were given a choice of floors to stay on and room at front or rear of building. Chose the rear, train tracks close by but did not disturb us. Room was very large, huge bathroom, great shower. Had pizza for dinner which was delicious. Breakfast next day, great choice. Would definitely stay again."
