Great Hotel. Surprised.

free parkingquality gownpizza taste
The free parking was convenient. I really appreciated the soft, high-quality dressing gown in the room, though I didn't use it. It did add a luxe touch? Bea, the receptionist, was helpful, even guiding me into the car park because of road closures!
the room service pizza tasted bland.
