    Breakfast was excellent and was available from 6.30am which was good as i needed to leave early. Room was large and bed was comfy. Had iron, kettle, TV etc. Only thing it could have done with is a safe.

    Staff were excellent, the room was bug enough for 1 night, and the breakfast choice was superb. The option to take away the baps was a great idea.

    Everything. The location, bus stops right outside for Skylink connections for me to go where i needed. Free breakfast which was a lot nicer than expected. Spacious reception lounge area, excellent room facilities, friendly helpful staff.
