A pleasant night stopover in a clean and tidy room. Jug and toaster are provided with plates and cutlery in the cupboards. Recently refreshed bathroom and toilet facilities. Large tv located on a wall bracket. Comfortable bed to sleep in.
Will be happy to use this facility on our next stay in this area.
Clean and quiet (no games on at the stadium) I'd use or consider it for future stays. I paid a tad extra for the jet bathroom tub and it was worth it. Slept well that night.
