a good little escape!
really good staffcomfortable bedconvenient microwaveon-site parking
The staff offered really good service. I found their professional manner so endearing! the room had just the right cozy feel with a comfortable bed. i also enjoyed the convenience of having a microwave. parking on site was a bonus. It made getting around so easy.
the only tiny thing was that there was just a little bit of traffic noise, but it wasn't too bad.

The complimentary breakfast bag was an utterly perfect touch. It had a lovely porridge pot, refreshing orange juice, and a good pain au chocolat. the little bag provided a sweet start to each morning!

small roompoor heating
The room was small. I was like I was constantly bumping into things. It was pretty cramped. the heating barely worked. I tried adjusting the thermostat, but it didn't seem to make a difference, and the thin quilt provided little warmth, which affected my sleep. The lack of proper heating really detracted from an otherwise acceptable stay. I found myself wishing I had brought an extra blanket from home.

mixed feelings about the stay

the staff allowed me to store my bicycle in their secure workshop overnight, helpful.
someone had left toilet paper unrolled and a dirty bathmat in there. soil was on the bathroom floor and red building dust covered the shower tray. it was a builder used the bathroom and did not clean up after himself, it stayed like that for two days.
