The room was very clean and spacious. It had everything i needed for my stay. The breakfast was great (especially the fresh options!). The staff were also helpful and attentive.
The room decor seemed a little dated. There weren't many toiletries provided in the bathroom. The parking also cost an extra £5 (i thought it would be included).

the location was really convenient for seeing local attractions. i found the staff to be quite friendly and helpful. breakfast had a good selection of items , i really enjoyed that.
my room was uncomfortably warm because the window wouldn't open very far. there was a fan in the room , but i still did not sleep too well. the decor seemed quite dated , it could use a bit of updating i think.
