check in was awesome, even though we arrived later than originally expected. Room was great, beds comfortable. My only concern has been that when I booked I didn't pick up the fact that our room did not have an ensuiite bathroom.

Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for one night. The bathrooms were never occupied which was good. Facilities were good and clean, staff were friendly and the breakfast was great! Good price too and so close to the station made it convenient. I would stay again :).
