"This is a budget hotel and is a good example of that. The small room was fine for the price. The double bed was very comfortable and we got a good nights sleep. The breakfast was really good. So for the price you pay it is what is expected. Unfortunately, there is one downside, the staff need to be more welcoming. Over the two nights we stayed not once did anyone show any enthusiasm or welcome us with a good morning and a smile. When we arrived back after a day out, no one smiled and asked if...
