The Hotel is tucked away in a convenient location and has ample parking spaces. The overall impression is that it is a little worn in places and would benefit from some TLC.

Good location for Villa Park

Great room, convenient location for Villa Park. Comfy bed and nice shower. Only issue was breakfast, very busy and little staff so lots of items unavailable. People were queuing for a table.
