perfect location friendly staff good value small shower questionable cleanliness cheap sausages
I loved the hotel's proximity to the P&J Live Arena. A short walk! made it super convenient. The staff were super friendly and even asked about the show, such a nice personal touch. Our "Standard Double Room" was great value for money. the late checkout was perfect.
The room was a bit small. Especially the shower. It was like a phone booth. I noticed some debris on the carpet. The cleanliness could have been better. Breakfast wasn't great. The sausages were cheap, and the bacon had clearly sat around for a while

Excellent Stay Near the Arena
cute staff open fire attentive staff
I found the staff welcomed me immediately upon arrival. I enjoyed sitting in front of the open fire in the bar. The steaks I ordered were cooked beautifully to my taste, and the pudding was delicious. The attentive staff looked after me well throughout my visit.
I thought the music in the restaurant was a bit loud.
