I appreciated the huge room. It included tea, coffee, cookies, and bottled water. The staff was super friendly. Parking was available just opposite the building.
The shower pressure in my en suite was very poor. My bedroom door (Number 5) needs oiling on its hinges, as I'm sure it must waken others in neighboring rooms.
