Satisfied with the basics

warm roomeasy parkingplug sockets
I needed a place to crash after my car went to the garage. The staff was helpful and parking was easy. My room was warm, so I was grateful for a good stay.
The room had few plug sockets near the bed. The sheets lay on the bed, they were not fitted.

Breakfast had what I expected from the pictures, which I appreciate it. It looked sufficient for what it is, nothing really stood out, and it had what you would expect for simple options and quick service.

the staff was friendly and helpful with our requests. it gave us advice after our long journey. the room itself was basic, but clean, and all i required for the overnight stay was there. i liked its kettle, we got from reception and that it was easy.
the machinery outside made a loud noise all night. it was hard to sleep with the window open, but the room felt small with it closed.

Breakfast ran out of items early. This wasn't ideal. i think more stock will be needed. however, there are alternative options such as the mac nearby, this made finding alternatives easier.

Clean and Convenient Stopover

helpful staffearly check-inclean roomkettle absence
The staff was friendly and helpful. I was especially grateful to Barry at the front desk. He allowed us to check into our room earlier than planned so we could leave our suitcases and explore the area unburdened. The room was spotlessly clean, a detail I really appreciated after a long day.
I found that the lack of a kettle in the room was a bit of a drawback. It meant I couldn't easily make tea or coffee in the morning.
