It was great and fantastic value. Only comment is that my room (7) was cold, but maybe I should have checked the radiator settings!
I'll definitely stay again.

Nice large comfy room. Easy walk to High St & shopping. Close to Brewery Qtr & pubs/eateries. Little bit tricky getting close enough in parking zone, but didnt have a lot of luggage, so easy enough. Breakfast little overcooked, but ok.
