“For budget-conscious travelers, I noticed this place offers a practical base near the train station, under a five-minute walk; though some rooms have shared facilities, the price reflects this, and off-road parking adds convenience. It's a ten-minute walk to the Quayside, putting restaurants and bars within easy reach, making it suitable for short stays where location and value are priorities. I'd recommend it for those needing simple accommodation without frills.”
