Staff were lovely & offered early check in when I arrived to drop a bag off in the morning. Room was fine but heater wasn’t working so they gave me a small fan heater. Mattres was very old with big sagging dips on each side so I slept in the middle as was on my own. Convenient to town and gull
Buss to airport.

Room was basic but very clean. Staff were pleasant. Would prefer individual soaps rather than the squeeze bottle. Location is great. Perfect for a nights stay.
