the room featured a good quality tv. complimentary tea and coffee were readily available. the bathroom was a good size with an excellent shower offering constant hot water and i found this very satisfactory. free parking in the onsite car park was a distinct advantage.
the croissant at breakfast was a little difficult to cut and lacked some flavor.

an acceptable but unremarkable stay

filthy remotehairs on carpet
The television remote was disgusting. there were hairs all over the carpet. I suspect housekeeping needs a new vacuum or perhaps to use the one they have. i also had to eat breakfast in a cold meeting room instead of the dining area, which wasn't exactly the cozy start to the day i was hoping for.

The room was very clean. I was happy to find a comfy bed with spotlessly clean bedding. The car park facility was very convenient.
The room was WAY too hot. It seemed to be set for 22 degrees and would not turn down. I had to call reception and leave a window open with a fan on.

The breakfast was good. I enjoyed the variety available (the pastries were fresh). Free parking was convenient. The location made it easy to get to shops nearby.
The room felt quite basic. The bathroom needed a good clean (the grouting looked discolored). The walls seemed thin, I could hear the tv from the next room late at night.
