Good value for money ”

Location is good, room was spacious and clean, good kitchen facilities too. A bit noisy because of just on high street and they don't have any customer parking. Otherwise good place to stay.

Excellent”

Excellent location. Friendly and helpful staff. Facilities are dated and worn but does the job. Situated above a bar and next to a public grass area so expect some noise at night.

Good price for loud club all night ”

Pros: can be reasonably cheap depending on your room type and day of the week. Its centrally located Cons: a bar/club in the bottom floor. They had a silent disco night. People were outside screaming/singing at the top of their lungs until 3am. The rooms were unbearably hot and the option was sweat with no sheets on in relative quiet, or be cool and not sleep because it's too loud
