The location was acceptable for accessing the town centre and also the car park.
The shower tap in the bathroom did not work. I had to fix it myself, and it took a long time to get it working correctly. The men's toilets near the entrance to the rooms reaked of urine. I had to hold my breath while passing by..

free parking comfortable room fresh milk
I was thrilled with the free parking. It saved me so much hassle. the room size really surprised me. It felt very spacious and comfortable. i was also happy to find plenty of fresh milk available upon request. It made my tea breaks perfect.
I found the shower head leaked quite a bit. It was a bit annoying to deal with during my showers, i hope this can get fixed.
