"The location was excellent. The room was decent and kitchen was clean when this one older chap was on cleaning duty which means it wasn’t the staff but the messy people using the kitchen. The staff keeping the bathrooms were good. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. All to say, we would stay there again. "
