The staff was very polite, helpful, and cute! The food provided was delicious with typical English breakfast options. I also appreciated the complimentary toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs at reception. The hotel provides Dove brand soap, shampoo, and shower gel. The shampoo left my hair soft!

The TV was simple and offered only basic TV channels.

mixed feelings about this stay

broken aircon poor presentation

the location proved convenient (a short walk to the train station).

the air conditioning malfunctioned, so the room became hot. the supplied fan offered little relief. opening the windows did little to improve things, and it became very noisy overnight, poor presentation and quality of the breakfast was not good.
