reasonable stay near the a1
spacious bedroom comfortable bed road noise jaded presentation
The room was quite spacious and clean. It came equipped with tea, coffee, and biscuits. i also found an iron, ironing board, and a fan in the room. the bed was comfortable. the bar and restaurant area had character with a variety of seating at tables.
on arrival, i was expected to self-serve as there was no one to assist with check-in. located next to the a1, the hotel had continual road noise. it made sleeping difficult. the presentation of the hotel is somewhat jaded and well-worn.
