a solid central stay

The location was amazing! it was close to everything i needed. the staff were also awesome and accommodating. They addressed all my requests promptly. they provided two separate rooms on the second floor. I did not need to walk up many flights of stairs.

The car park had some rubbish around. It could have been cleaner. i had to pay for parking, which i didn't anticipate. spaces were not guaranteed despite payment, a bit inconvenient.
