Fantastic Central Stay!

central location comfortable bed helpful staff easy access
The location is SUPERB being right in the center. It is only a couple of minutes walk from the High Street and Broad Street. The Westgate Centre is also just 10 minutes away. I found the bed very comfortable and the staff helpful with luggage.
My room was a bit small, but it was still functional for a short stay.
