"The location is super convenient, within walking distance to the train station and all the attractions, restaurants, shops, and supermarkets.
The hotel facilities are a bit dated but generally complete. There's a cute little elevator at the entrance, which is handy for people with large luggage or those who have trouble with stairs.
My room was assigned as a smoking room, so there was a lingering smoke smell and I couldn't open the window to air it out. However, the duvet and pillows were very soft and comfortable for sleeping. The bathroom sink has separate hot and cold taps, which is quite unusual; the hot water was very hot, so I had to run the cold water first before turning on the hot. I later found out this design is common in other parts of the UK. Thankfully, the shower tap didn't have this issue. I'd recommend bringing your own toiletries.
The front desk offers luggage storage, but there's a sign warning that they aren't responsible for lost items. We didn't have any issues with lost luggage during our stay, though.
When we visited, there was some flooding, so if you're driving, I'd suggest avoiding the flood season or not parking your car in the garage.
Overall, for a short one-night stay, it offers good value for money."
