Fabulous rooms and location highly recommend
We stayed to visit familie in nearby hospital. We found booking and checking in smooth and hassle free. We had a family room and was spacious and clean.
Loved the fact we had fans in the room and tea/coffee facilities. Which was topped up daily.
Would highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely book again.
