great locationpolite stafffresh towelsparking problemhigh drink pricestourist trap

the location IS great for walking around the area. i liked that the staff was polite and helpful with directions. my room, a prestige double room, was clean and had nice decor. it included fresh towels daily, too.

parking was a problem, the bookingcom advert mentioned parking. the closest car park was a seven minute walk AWAY. also, the drink prices felt high and seemed like a tourist trap.
