Very happy with our stay at this hotel. Plenty of parking. You register your car with their system so you don't get charged. The breakfast was nice, rooms clean and had everything you would need. Very happy with our stay and would choose to stay again.

Scott

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Convenient and cheap, but impossible to cool room even in a very cold May. Staff were very pleasant, breakfast was good, beds were comfortable and shower was reasonable. Unfortunately you couldn't open the windows and there was no AC, only heating/fan, so despite us going in a cold snap in May the room was far too hot to sleep comfortably, it wasn't helped by having very thick duvets. Might stop here again in winter but certainly no in summer
