All good. Clean, comfortable and well managed. Shower was powerful and hot. The one breakfast I had was good. I didn’t have any food in the evenings as I had made other arrangements so I can’t comment. Staff were helpful and the parking was secure, free and directly across the road.

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Breakfast was good. But I didn’t like the front door being locked by 8.15pm and the outlook from our room (a wall, maybe a couple of metres from the window.)
