Rooms Inn
Pretty basic, but good value for money. No lift, so some might struggle to upper floors.

Room very clean. Beds are 10/10. Pillows great. Spacious. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice little shop downstairs with very reasonable prices, don’t over charge. 2nd time I’ve stayed here in 3 months. Thanks again for a brilliant stay.

Grainger Apartments
Tired room but clean. The owners should let you know with the check in details that you will require photo ID and want a cash security deposit on the key card, as I had neither of these on check in.
