Helpful staff, clean room, clean and spacious kitchen.And FREE COFFEE + MUFFINS + SOUP. There was hardly anyone when we stayed here coz probably it was winter plus it was raining the whole week so we had the whole lounge and kitchen to our selves. They also have lots of games for everyone so you won’t feel bored

We only spent an evening here but really enjoyed it and would come back without hesitation. Room with private bath was very well appointed and staff super helpful. Check in times are confusing and thank goodness for Expedia staff who helped. Communication with the hotel (ie email or by phone) could be improved but a great spot to stay at on a budget.
