loud musicbreakfast options
I stayed there for a few nights and, honestly, i was a little let down. the noise at night was pretty bad. I could hear everything happening outside and in the hallway. it was like i could not get a proper rest. the staff seemed a bit disinterested when i mentioned it, and . also, the breakfast was just okay, it had a very limited options for a hotel with that rating.

The staff at the front desk were super helpful (i loved that!). i was upgraded to a free breakfast, a total win. i found a huge car park. That was a relief. the food was really good, both in quality and size.
My room did not have air conditioning. i only had two windows that opened slightly at the top. i heard loud air conditioning noises all night. It was coming from the units for the restaurant.

Excellent Stay

food servicetop class stafffresh breakfastfree parking
The food service was excellent. The staff provided top class service. The fresh breakfast each morning included fruit and cereals. I found free parking to be a bonus. The location was convenient for nearby family visits. The hotel also offered proximity to the Kingsbridge Hospital.
Interconnecting room doors seemed to leak noise from a neighbouring room.

I found the car park to be quite large. I also thought the restaurant had very good food (I especially enjoyed the burger).
The noise from the interconnecting door bothered me. The price of soda water was very high.

The hotel provided free parking. The hotel's location proved convenient for visiting nearby shops. Breakfast each morning was fresh. The hotel have an ice cream parlour in the bistro.
the batter of the fish and chips was not crispy enough. The onion rings tasted slight burnt. The soda bread tasted odd. Two eggs were not quite cooked properly.
