“In my opinion, this hotel presents a reasonable budget option, particularly appealing for short stays. The presence of an on-site bar with an outdoor seating area and food trailer enhances its convenience, although the bar's atmosphere seems somewhat lacking. Overall, I think it's a practical choice if you're looking for value within easy reach of Gloucester.”

adequate stay with minor drawbacks

clean roomfriendly staffcold roomdimly lit car park
the room was spacious and clean. the shower provided a powerful hot stream, a feature i admire. staff members, who i met, were friendly and informative. ample parking space were available .
the room was cold, i barely managed to heat it sufficiently. the car park at night was dimly lit, and it felt unsafe. the prices at the bar was also expensive, which i didnt like. the food truck only served hot dogs, burgers, and pizzas.
