The room was ok though a bit tired ,was clean but definately not what we expected of a 4 star facility, more a 3 star level in our opinion at 4 star prices with exception of parking thats 5 star at £58 for 2 days, staff were great only one issue where room was cleaned but no towels left. Location was good but unlikely to use again as better options are available for the price
