Took single room for the night prior to taking part in the Great West Run. Compact and basic but everything one needed, with some very nice extra touches such as real coffee and a tiny cafetiere in the room. The tiles in the bathroom are beautiful.

Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for one night. The bathrooms were never occupied which was good. Facilities were good and clean, staff were friendly and the breakfast was great! Good price too and so close to the station made it convenient. I would stay again :).
