Cosy, great facilities.
"Great location, friendly front staff and great facilities. We booked for 3 people (1 adult, 2 children) and no rollaway bed was present (checked in at 9:30pm so too late to sort). All 3 had to share the king bed. Also only 2 towels were in the room. TV wouldn't work, but not a big deal."
