The Business Inn
Almost great. Full kitchen in the room, which was great. For travellers with nut allergies, the breakfast area is NOT safe. The bed was so soft that I actually had a difficult time sleeping. But if that’s your thing you’ll love it.

Hotel decor and systems (i.e. use of keys instead of cards) are dated, but the property is clean and the staff are friendly; a good value for money.
