Convenient Stopover with Comfortable Amenities

ample spaceadjoining roombreakfast options
The accessible room offered ample space for wheelchair use. I appreciated the adjoining room for carers as well. Breakfast presented a variety of options, so I was able to find several choices I enjoyed.
The lack of easily accessible plug sockets near the bed was slightly inconvenient.
Service
9/10
The hotel manager arranged a conference room with coloring books. This was a kind gesture because a private function was occurring. It allowed the children to be entertained while not eating in the restaurant area.
