A warm, friendly welcome, clean comfortable room and hearty breakfast. When the time came to leave our hire car would not start and the extra help from the staff in dealing with Europcar was invaluable in helping us continue our journey.

mediocre stay at Big Five
the stay was not so good - the area was not good its also very far from centre and it takes such a long time due to traffic. we had to skip breakfast as it only starts at 7 am wont use this place again - not for our type of business we needed a business hub as well for our emails and scanning
