I'm not sure about it being a 4 star, but it is a good hotel. We had problems with Parking - there is not much space for bigger cars and only 6 spaces. On-street parking needs a disc and we couldn't find where to get one so we parked on an NCP next to the mini golf. On-site was a bar, but I never worked out how to get a beer. Everything was OK with the room. Beds were comfy. Could have done with chairs that matched. >>Positives Quiet place with very little noise at all Microwave and fridge in the room were useful >>Needs Improvements Curtains were thin Shower control was really hard to move Items left in drawers Some areas had peeling paint Not enough plugs near beds Would stay here agin.
