    We only stayed one night and wish it could have been longer. Easy self check in with a request for an earlier check in accommodated. Room was a good size and spotlessly clean. The fire place was a nice touch and made the room really cosy. We were delighted with this hotel after being on the road for many days/nights. Good location and definitely value for money.

    This is a great and cheap option if you're traveling single group of friends, alone, or have a strict budget. I appreciate the e-concierge service. I was able to go straight into the room and get settled immediately. Even provided codes to get supplies. A great self service type of option when you texted what you needed. The staff that was on site was exceptional and helped with whatever we needed as well.
