Adequate Stay Near Daughter's Home

large roomnecessary itemlovely staffbasic roomold bednoisy door
I booked because this hotel is near my daughter. It is also close to her husband and their newborn, perfect for Christmas. I couldn't believe how large the Triple Room was. Everything I needed was there for my stay. Staff were lovely too.
I did not use the pub . I found that the room was very basic. The beds and duvet need replacing so bad. I also noticed the hall fire door at the top of the stairs banged shut often and I could hear it in my room each time.

The hotel staff were indeed helpful during check-in. The large room had everything I needed for my stay. Massive windows made the room light and airy. I also noticed cleanliness everywhere, which I really value.
I found that the parking was difficult because there was no space in the free car park, so I parked on the road.
