average location, considerable drawbacks

difficult parking
i found the on-site parking difficult to locate (down a narrow lane) and it was full upon arrival. this resulted in having to find and pay for town center parking. the tv in my room was also non-functional.

the parking situation was a nightmare. i drove around for ages, finally found the narrow lane at the back only to discover it was full (even before check-in). i ended up paying for town centre parking. the room's furniture looked like it came from a charity shop. the tv didn't work and the window wouldn't close properly, letting in a draft.

Solid Value in Convenient Location

The staff was friendly and efficient at check-in. It was quick. The room had facilities needed for a short break, like a microwave and a fridge. The location is really close to the city center, many restaurants and shops were within walking distance.
The carpet in the room had stains, and the paint was chipped in places. The furnishings seemed quite old.
