Large room with king bed. Friendly staff. Several restaurants nearby although we used The Station next door to buy takeaway for a night in to watch the tennis. Bathroom was dated but would definitely stay again.

First class customer service from arrival to departure including an offer to assist with carrying our bags upstairs and in exiting the car park when leaving. The room although near a busy road was very quiet and the bed comfortable. Great budget accommodation.

Comfortable bed and nice bedding. The rest of the room was quite tired and overall smelled of aftershave (?) Not great value for money but fine if you just need a place to sleep.

Right from the by the time we came back. was welcoming and the room was perfect for what we needed. We were very embarassed because we did not expect the room to be serviced and left it in a shocking mess that was magically tidied.

Front Desk are very helpful - I was a late check in, and arrangements were made in advance, and it was a very easy process. At the same time as I was checking in late, I saw Front Desk helping out another hotel customer who was a late check in due unexpected flight delay - they went out of their way to be helpful and supportive of the late arrival, and should be commended for that support

The property is old, but kept clean. It can be noisy with traffic and the walls are thin. But the location is good with Dan Murphy next door and a great Tavern 5 minutes away on foot. It was a comfortable stay.
