parking facilitiesgoodsecurity systemfriendly hostsoutdated roominsufficient heatingcold room
The parking facilities were good. This made arrival simple. Security was good with fobs used instead of keys (i found this very efficient). The hosts were also friendly.
The room required updating and this showed. The room was cold as the heating was not on long enough. This did not elevate the coldness in the evening (or morning).
