solid place to stay

food options breakfast choice helpful staff

i found free from food options during breakfast it was excellent i have intolerances this was so helpful. i had an excellent choice at breakfast. i phoned the hotel directly and they checked immediately when i thought i might have left something in the room they were very helpful.

the parking was a nightmare i noticed individuals parking across two spaces right outside reception forcing others to park tightly in dark spaces at the rear of the hotel i find this quite inconsiderate.

full blast air conditioning

The staff had the air conditioning on full blast in the communal areas. The dining room felt freezing and it seemed like a deliberate attempt at driving guests away. I complained once but nothing changed. Such a shame.
