6.8/10

The hotel is conveniently located just ten minutes from Oxford center by bus, offering clean and comfortable rooms. The service was a bit shaky with late-night check-in issues, but the location is fine with free car parking available. The dining experience lacked variety but was satisfactory. The facilities are basic yet adequate for a short stay.

The rooms were about a 5-minute walk away down the main road from the main reception, which was a bit confusing, but they were clean and comfortable within the room.
