The room had independent access from the car park. this was very convenient. the shower worked well. It was easy to control the temperature. there was a hanging rack for wet coats. The "boot taking off area" inside the door was practical.
the kettle was dirty. i cleaned it. i was told there were no chocolates, disappointing. the view was of the car park.
