Spacious, clean room. We had some road noise and the kitchen area did not have a sink so had to wash the dishes in the bathroom. Our room needed a sharp knife and breadboard.

Considering what we paid and the location of the hotel , we were a bit skeptical until we arrived. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean , very spacious and very , very comfortable. Little things like water bottles, chocolate, and milk in the fridge just added to the enjoyment. Town with shopping and restaurants is a short walk away

The property was clean and comfortable. Truly appreciated the arrangements for a late check in. Got there late and left early so not a lot to go on otherwise. Much nicer than the last motor lodge we stayed in!

Liked: Cleanliness
We found the bed very comfortable, the kitchen plates etc were very oddly matched. It seemed strange that there was only 1 chair for us to eat dinner from. It was obviously a room for 2. The shower was great however didn't have anywhere to put the shower gel/soap and no shower curtain , which meamt water went everywhere, which I cleaned up. The trains in the middle of the night were a little frightening too.
