Checked in around 21:00. No dramas, helpful staff. Payment for parking (discounted to £10 for hotel guests) made at a machine opposite. Plenty of parking available when we stayed, despite it not being a particularly large car park. Room was tiny for a family with the sofa bed out (smaller than a Premier Inn, for example), but we only stayed a few hours. Breakfast started at 04:00, so we were able to grab something, but it was very much just a croissant in a paper bag, so not ideal.

Once I Was In, It Was Fine!

My visit was soured at the start by a 15 minute wait to be checked in at reception, due to one member of staff operating the bar and check ins! After I was finally in my room, it was standard HI Express fare.
