Outstanding value for the price
Rarely do you find a hotel that delivers so much for what you pay. Clean rooms, great breakfast, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience.

Solid choice for the area
Good value and convenient location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean if a little dated. Would stay again if the price is right.
