Room and bathroom were very clean. Plenty of tea and coffee. Two bottles of spring water were welcomed. Tv control was not working properly. It seemed to be broken but it’s not a problem for us. Parking was easy and lots of spaces.

Drains stink, tv didn't work and was replaced, but then the manager guy was replacing TVs in loads of rooms all evening. Half the menu was unavailable and the restaurant was freezing. Not good. Shame really.

Staff were helpful, appreciated there was a travel cot in my room ready which I had requested - this wasn’t guaranteed with the room I had booked. Nice and quiet. Restaurant available if you need it (I didn’t use it this time).
