Excellent Stay!
excellent choicecomfortable roomconvenient locationspot on parking
The breakfast offered an excellent selection of choices and was neatly organized. The room was comfortable (I slept really well!). The hotel's location is near the town centre and a retail outlet with a cinema. Parking on site was spot on and very convenient.
The mugs in the room were quite small, and the offerings of tea, coffee, and milk for two people felt a bit sparse.
