Quiet ( but few guests when I stayed). Comfy bed. Clean. Good shower. Central location.

Fresh milk & earl grey would be nice.

8.0

Gocd town location. Breakfast was off site. Nearby Wetherspoons Royal Oak was very good. The vending machine at the hotel served free beverages for guests. Water was also available.

Lack of vending machine serving sandwiches/fruit and other snacks.
