Staff were very helpful, the room was a good size but perhaps a little dated and a microwave in the room would have been useful. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of parking.

Comfort and Value
We were worried that road noise would keep us up however my husband and I both had the best night's sleep. Room was a bit dated but it was large and comfortable. Our room was also very clean. The breakfast in the morning is very good value. We enjoyed our stay.
