Broad Street has frequent buses every 5-10 minutes running till late, plus the tram stops right outside so getting around town or to the station is quick and easy

Moses and Peter on the concierge team are always friendly, smiling, and genuinely helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Makes a big difference!

Walls carry more sound than you expect. You’ll learn way more about your neighbours lol
