Nice enough to rest your head
Nice enough place to stay to lay your head down. Bring your own hairdryer though, don't believe them when it says they have their own in the room

Good location but basic (at best!)
Basic accommodation, clean but didn't smell that good and the bathroom could definitely do with a makeover (cracked sink, old shower). However, well located close to station and reasonable price.

A good option for visiting Taunton. Good location as it's walkable from the train station. Front desk staff very friendly & helpful. Room was very clean & included a mini refrigerator which was appreciated. Beds comfortable.
A minor issue--towel racks & hooks are definitely needed as wet towels need a place to dry.

I arrived late (after midnight) and was met by a super nice manager who got me sorted. The room was clean and spacious. It was on the front side of the hotel so traffic noise was inevitable in the morning.
