This is a budget hotel so bear this in mind. The property is not modern which is not an issue but does need to be cleaner. The staff member was very polite and check in was quick. The parking was good and the location only about 10 mins walk into centre. Did not eat here so can’t comment on that.

Friendly traditional Inn, good full English breakfast. Great location to walk into the City along the river, free parking also a bonus. Rooms are comfortable but the age of the building perhaps explains why the bathrooms and showers are dated. Enjoyed my second stay there and outside of building has been freshly painted.

Disliked: Amenities
It's basic accommodation. Very dated throughout, needs a lick of paint and new carpets.. Bathroom was quite good however and very clean. Bedsheets and towels had some stains. If you have a room facing the road, take earplugs or your sleep will be interrupted frequently. Overall for the price I was happy. I just needed a place to put my head for the night. Would not recommend for a long stay however.
