Wonderful Stay!

convenient locationcomfortable bedflat pillows
This hotel is conveniently located near the M4, easy to continue my journey west! The room had a spacious, clean layout and the bed was surprisingly comfortable after a long day. The bar seemed to operate around the clock. Many guests were happily enjoying drinks. It was a nice, lively atmosphere.
The pillows were not very good. They were flat. Some updating would make this hotel fantastic.

The room was clean. The atmosphere was lovely!!! They allow pets and this worked perfectly, because I had my dog with me.
The corridors had old crockery that had not been cleared away. I arrived quite late, and the crockery was still there the next morning. The rooms are starting to look very tired. I noticed that the furniture looked old.
