i found the location excellent being very central to everything. the room was warm and suitable for a couple of nights. the bathroom facilities were great i enjoyed the additional tea and coffee station. there were plenty of amenities like a hairdryer an ironing board and an iron. the pub downstairs was great for food and drinks and the additional discount as a guest was good.
the curtain area was slightly run down though the room was very clean.
