convenient locationfree parkingsmall roomnoisy road
the location was convenient for exploring the town it was only a short walk away. free parking behind the building was a plus i appreciated that.
the room was a bit compact for the price i paid i thought it was quite small. the road outside was noisy i could hear cars late at night and early in the morning.

central stay
friendly staffspacious roomscomfortable bedfree parking
the staff was very friendly. all public areas seemed beautiful, and i found the rooms spacious. the beds were comfortable and everything was really clean. bottles of water, coffee, hot chocolate, and tunnocks teacakes were provided in the rooms (a nice touch!). free parking was also a great bonus to me.
the radiator in the bathroom runs on a timer. the button is hidden behind the luggage rack, so the bathroom felt cold. i suggest they add a sign to clarify this .

cold items
The breakfast was such a disappointment for the price. I think it cost fifteen pounds. The food seemed like it had been sitting out for hours. The scrambled eggs were okay. but most things were cold or hard. Wetherspoons would have been a better option. I had to lug my suitcase up two flights of stairs. That wasn't fun.
