The location was perfect, close to everything. The room was spotless, we actually stayed 2 weeks and the cleaners changed our towels every day, our bed many times, they were the stars of the show!

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.
