What a pleasant surprise to stay at this property. Staff was friendly. Our room was very nice and also spacious. Parking was great right in front of the hotel. They had a nice pub inside with great prices and selection. We were also pleased with the close proximity to the airport for our flight the next day. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Excellent

Great stay for a quick overnight visit. Lovely room and easy check in
Alicia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Stayed one night before flying home and it was okay but I would not stay again. The pub food and drinks were excellent and the prices for food very reasonable. Parking is almost non-existent and it is on a busy street. If we had not grabbed the last parking spot in front of the hotel my rating would be lower. Dragging suitcases through the pub to the tiny elevator not fun. Room was so small. No window just a skylight that opened. I would eat here again no problem but not stay.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Superb

Great people and great time
Darren, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

I really liked the hotel and staff, but i think you have a drug problem at the hotel which needs to be addressed
