convenient stay NEAR station

convenient location clean room good communication

I found the hotel location quite convenient. It was easy to find from the station. Rooms were clean and fresh, although no staff was present at check in. I found the room perfect for what I needed .

i found instructions regarding parking confusing. it stated parking had to be booked ahead of arrival, but also it was 'first come first served'. to ME, 'first come first served' means the first person to physically arrive is the one who claims the spot, not 'the first person to book via the app'

Service

check-in, though without personal interaction, was smooth because of clear instructions provided. this streamlined service met my needs for information and access effectively.

the hotel presented a clean and well kept environment. the room had necessary amenities, with a functional and comfortable space for my needs. i found the facilities adequate and convenient for a short stay.

Dining

9/10

the room included tea, chocolate, and biscuits . while I didn't consume them, the provision was a thoughtful touch. i think that the absence of on-site dining facilities was not an issue, given the proximity to various eateries nearby.

lovely stay near the station

great value easy check

i found the location very good, just five minutes from the train station. the house itself was nice, and the value was great for such a central spot. my room had a kettle and water, which i always appreciate. very neat place and tidy, and the check in process was simple with the key code and keys left at reception.

my room was quite small. while it wasn't a huge problem, i did notice there wasn't a lot of storage or space for luggage, other than under the bed. a fan would have been a welcome addition, especially since the room felt quite hot.

Facilities

the lobby includes a coffee machine. self-check-in is available, and the instructions are clear. i also used the option to leave luggage for an hour after checking out at 10 am.
