Bad: Needed an extension cord to plug my laptop in from the table, though I could have used the desk under the TV. But this was just a bit too small for my requirements. Room was close to the road, so a little noisy.
Most food options were a drive away.

the people who stayed next to us let there children play with my classic car which was parked outside my room in the correct park. when i told the child to leave it alone he cried to his mother who then barged into my room and threatened to assault me. after i calmed her down her other son was heard by the cleaning staff saying he was going to damage my car and i caught him with a knife trying to get close to the car without me noticing so he could damage the paint. I felt very unsafe and my classic car was nearly damaged. I realize that you cannot vet your clients behavior when they arrive but i was horrified, doubt I'd be game to stay there again with the car.

This place is warm and comfortable with tasteful decor and everything you need for a comfy stay. We did find that the walls were not sound-proof. We could hear our neighbours talking

Owners were fab

The owners were so welcoming and friendly! Place had been refurbished 4 years prior but was still as new! Best part was heatpump and enough bedding.

Great - just what I like in a business layover. Clean, presentable, friendly and affordable.

I won't stay anywhere else now.

Thanks,

The room we stayed in was noisy, my bed was hard and the pillows were too high.
Didn't sleep much maybe 4hrs due to feeling uncomfortable and the street noise.
