great location and value

convenient locationsecure parkinggreat value
the location is CONVENIENT , near a Tesco supermarket open until late. I could also easily access a 24-hour McDonald's. Parking felt secure since it was ample and tucked away. The pub underneath was good value, and breakfast cost only £5.50 for hotel guests.
the door in my room had to be slammed shut because it didn't fit properly in the frame.
