Satisfactory Visit

spacious room friendly staff unclear information soft bed
The room was spacious. It was also very clean upon arrival. The staff was friendly. They were always ready to help with any questions I had.
The website had some unclear parking information. It directed me to a car park that cost £15 per day. The bed was quite soft. I also noticed some chipped paint on the bedroom walls
