Excellent Location and Friendly Service

convenient locationfriendly staffspacious roommissing chair
The location was convenient. I hardly used my car. The staff were very friendly and helpful . The room was spacious and included a lounge area, useful when travelling with friends. I found the on-site parking convenient for my 24-hour car hire.
The room only had one chair. It was a challenge, as there were two people staying in the room. The bathroom looked a bit old. And small.

Breakfast was great value, and I appreciated that it opened early. I had breakfast one morning, and it was excellent. I found the breakfast buffet reasonably priced. The hotel also provides options for takeaway breakfasts.

The hotel's location was excellent, an easy stroll to nearby restaurants and attractions. I found parking very convenient on site (it made arrival and departure smooth). The staff was friendly and always ready to assist with any questions. My room was quiet, ensuring a peaceful rest after a day of exploring.
I noticed that the breakfast buffet had limited options for gluten-free diets.
