A Satisfied Stay

friendly staffquality ingredientfree parkingtired decorsmall roomuncomfortable bed
The staff was very friendly. Breakfast included top quality ingredients. Free parking was available close by. The restaurant felt separate from the hotel reception, and i enjoyed both.
My room looked quite ordinary. The room seemed small with tired decor. Only one tea bag was in the room, and not much milk either. I wish the bed was more comfortable.

cute staffgorgeous breakfastgreat restaurantcar parkfront roomtraffic noise
The staff was cute. the breakfast was gorgeous and catered to my needs kindly. i had dinner in the restaurant. It was great.
i had difficulty finding the car park. i initially parked in a different carpark, behind the hotel, but you need to drive past that to get to the hotel's carpark. our room faced the front and was noisy from traffic and deliveries from about 6 am.

i received a really nice suprise, it was a free upgrade. my room was absolutly super clean, it also included plenty of tea and coffee. the beds were very comfortable, and there were fans provided which i appreciated during the hot weather.
i have one complaint, rooms could do with a refresh. the carpet did not touch the edges of the room, so i needed to be careful.

the room was quite clean. the breakfast was tasty.. especially the fresh fruit. the free parking at the back was also very useful. i registered my car details with the staff upon arrival.
my room faced the back, so there was a slight noise from the nearby street early in the morning.
