"Room was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, based on photos on booking site. It was very clean and the large double bed was super comfortable. I’m not a fan of a shower of a bath and was disappointed to have to step in and out of the bath to shower. Also the shower gel dispenser in the shower was broken. The restaurant was closed for us on a Thursday night, so can’t comment on the food. Overall I’d say this was a good clean place to stay but I’d have liked a bigger room for the money I paid."
