Plenty of parking at the hotel that was free. Breakfast was plentiful and room was large. Beds were comfortable. Only thing - our room was next to the main road which was noisy during the night with cars racing up and down.

Liked: Cleanliness
We stayed for one night and had a great stay. Welcomed at the desk and given clear instructions by Aaron. The room was clean and well maintained. A sign on the bed indicated that we had the option to change our mattress depending on if we preferred soft/firm. Towels were clean! No skid-marks! LOL. loved the idea of secure parking. Although it was away from the city centre I would very much prefer to have the assurance that my car is safe and a peaceful sleep without noise and traffic. The dual airflow system meant we had good control of the temperature in the room to suit our needs. Breakfast, oh my goodness. No need for lunch. Spoilt for choice. Thank you so much.
