satisfactory experience

room fridgetemperature controlbreakfast hoursparking location

i liked that the room included a fridge. i also appreciated the temperature control on the radiator. i was able to set it to my preferred warmth level. the room was very quiet. i fell asleep quickly and slept soundly until morning.

the breakfast hours were limited. it was only available between 9 and 9:30 am. this made it difficult to sleep in. the car park was not located at the hotel. i had to use an alternative parking location at nearly £10 a night.
