Convenient and clean stay
comfortable bedfriendly staffclose parkingdelicious food
The bed was comfortable. The staff are friendly. I could park right outside my room. The food was delicious in the pub. It really is a great benefit. I would stay here again if i am in the area. The tv had netflix. It was handy.
The toilet was not as clean as it could have been. I noticed this small detail upon arrival. The kettle also needed a better cleaning. This was a minor issue overall though.
