The staff were very nice and extremely helpful. The room was nice and the location great. It is nice to be close to Morrisons grocery store as you can pick up whatever you need there.

The room and bathroom were both spotless.
Staff very friendly and helpful especially when I put the wrong registration number in for the car park.
