Reviews and Ratings
The Best Western hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms were tidy, but they felt a bit worn out and not very cozy. On the bright side, the bed was fantastic, and everything was clean, including the bedding, bathroom, and towels. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially the lady at reception in the morning who was exceptionally pleasant, possibly from Eastern Europe. The location was convenient, with easy access to the city and lovely outdoor spaces nearby. However, the dining options were subpar and not a good value for money. On the flip side, the conservatory for tea or drinks was a nice touch.
The hotel was immaculate; the food was fantastic, couldn't ask for a better stay. I would recommend this hotel for anyone. The location was close to the road.
