"Tidy, comfortable and quiet room. Closely located to the train station, shops and restaurants. Had a heat pump, Sky television, spa bath and great water pressure."
"It’s probably a bit overpriced for what it is, but my room was very clean, warm, welcoming, had a great bed and excellent shower and had my own parking so all in all a good place to rest overnight.
Highly recommend the restaurant, Lustre, which was very close by and amazing food!"
