Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had nice and tidy rooms with decent spacing, although the lack of a digital thermostat for temperature control was a downside for me. The table clearing was efficient, but the pricing seemed a bit high for what was offered.
I had a brief stay at this hotel, and while the location seemed attractive with easy access to Oxford and nearby entertainment options, the lack of amenities and disappointing service left me feeling like I would not choose to stay here again.
