Parking so easy. Service at reception wonderful. Room amazing with a view over the waterway, so relaxing to sit and watch the activities below. Quiet, beautifully clean, comfy bed, a perfect night. I booked last minute online due to the hotel I was staying in the first night being so bad I had to shift. What a delight to be in this one, safe, clean and a great nights rest.
