free parking pleasant staff

I liked the free parking outside the door. It made arrival straightforward. the staff were VERY pleasant and helpful . i found the breakfast to be great. everything worked as expected, like the kettle and television.

the lighting driving in at night was poor, i THINK it requires some lights on the side of the road.

free coffee helpful staff

The continental breakfast had plenty to offer. A free coffee machine was available too. Staff were so helpful. Nothing was TOO much trouble for them!!!

Pipes made noises whenever the toilet flushed. This disturbed the peace a little.

helpful staff perfect location

The staff was unbelievably helpful and accommodating, REALLY making my stay easier. Location is PERFECT for basing a trip to the south of the island, close to the airport, bus, and steam train.

Sometimes, the cleanliness felt a little bit questionable. Some towels had stains.
