Yup would recommend
Great place to stay, has a bar & restaurant on site, and also others nearby.
We had a nice room here, and what a great idea to have free laundry, and a fridge in the Hallway with Milk & ice available! Saves going to reception.
Would definitely stay again.
Free parking available across the road and around the corner a little bit in a parking building but better than out on the street.

The bed was super comfy and big, staff were lovely and the whole hotel was really clean. I would've rated it higher had there been air conditioning in our room, a better breakfast menu (2 items on menu) that wasn't so expensive and if the shower had better water pressure. But overall it was a pleasant stay
