Our room was very good, clean and comfortable, with a nice bathroom. As advertised, it was room only with no other on site services. The reception desk was virtual, so interaction with staff was minimal. To describe the down stairs area as a kitchen and lounge area was overstated to say the least. A fridge and two microwave’s do not make a kitchen. To be fair, aside from the bedrooms, the place appears to be a work in progress, and may improve with time. On site parking was available and we had no trouble getting a space and if full there is a public car park next door. If all you want is a comfortable room with parking, this place does the job, very adequately. There are plenty of places nearby for a good quality breakfast and great dining in the evening. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfection location .
Check in was nice and easy, rooms were clean and spacious . Breakfast was delicious and well presented buffet .
Addition of couple of bottled water in the rooms can be a plus.
