The location was great. Staff were helpful throughout my visit. My room had a good size, very easy to reach. I liked there was a well-stocked tea tray. an iron in the room. Good parking was available.
The room looked tired, with a bit of peeling wallpaper. It was still clean, although the decor looked old.
