underwhelming stay

the room was clean and tidy, which met my basic expectations.

The pillow was REALLY firm. It was like sleeping on a rock and gave me a stiff neck every day, what a treat. the radiator also made a weird noise all night. It kept me awake.

EXCELLENT Stay!

friendly staff great location reasonable parking

The staff were SUPER friendly and helpful. I found the location great for city center access. The parking was reasonably priced. There was plenty of space, SO convenient.

I found that the shower head did not swivel out much. This made showering a bit unstable. I hope this is something they can improve soon.

The shower was very poor. Plugs were on the other side of the room. This made charging devices inconvenient. The tv wasn't working properly.. these issues detracted from the stay.
