spacious roomcomfortable bedunsecure car parksmall room
The room was very spacious and super clean. I loved the size of the room! The beds are comfortable too. I also liked the breakfast, because it was one of the best I've had in hotels. It was clean and there was plenty of choice.
I find that the car park is open to the public. My van was broken into in the car park one evening. The room was also small and dated. I think the furniture was old and needs replacing!

The breakfast was good. I found the beds to be very comfortable. The staff changed my room to the ground floor (due to a minor injury). The reception staff was very helpful.
The room showed a slight need for an upgrade.
