Upsetting Alarm.

Alarm set off at 00:09 and not only woke me but I coukd not get back to sleep. Those servicing the room need to ensure that any alarm is off.

10/10 Exceptional

Good spot for an inexpensive quick overnight.

I was checking in late. The front desk called to coordinate with me and was accomodating. The furnishings were older and worn, but everything was clean and the linens were fresh and soft. It was nicely decorated and pretty. Everything was well maintained and they even had an electric blanket. I only needed a place to sleep for a couple of hours. I'd almost booked a hostle but this price was nearly the same and private. I'm glad i did! I would stay again. The parkinglot is small and a bit hard to get out of, but the parking itself was good.

The staff were friendly. There was grime in the window corners, and in the spa outlets.

Every aspect of the property would benefit from a very good clean. On the plus side the sheets and towels were clean, and the staff seemed friendly.

Good value accomo

good value for money, clean, a bit tired. Needs new mattresses Noisy but only because on a busy road and was quiet in middle of night

Had to wait 5-10 mins to book in for no apparent reason. No milk given to us on arrival.

Furniture was very dirty. Rooms need updating.

4/10 Fair

Dirty room/bathroom over priced and had a bad smell
Charlotte, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, fresh and tidy but the shower cubicle could do with an upgrade/tidy up. The door lock needs to be fixed as had to try numerous times to get fire to open and had to get help getting in on one occasion.
Barbara, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, the beds were comfortable and you couldn't hear the road noise but sadly the unit was extremely dirty. There was a large crack in the toilet bowl, no soap, only half a roll of toilet paper for a family of 4 and no complimentary milk. The complex in general was rather run down
Jenny, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Sorry to be negative, we found the bed position difficult with a window and blind, at pillow height. The bed was very firm. ( uncomfortable) so we did not get a good sleep. The shower was a ‘wet floor shower’ so everything got very wet! We did not feel it was value for money.
