    I've stayed a couple of times for work. It's always clean and tidy. The rooms are also very quiet when you see the amount of traffic that goes past on the main road

    Very comfortable bed and a nice big room. Our room was upstairs so had a nice view of the street. Double glazed windows. Excellent
