Really good Stay, Cleanliness and Helpful Staff

onsite parkingsuper clean roomhelpful staffusb charging point
The hotel was easy to locate and had plenty of onsite parking spaces available. The room I had was spotlessly clean. It contributed greatly to my comfort. The staff at check-in, during breakfast, and at check-out were AMAZING!!! They were consistently helpful and polite.
The absence of readily available sockets near the bed posed a small inconvenience. I only located one USB charging point in the room.

The staff were pleasant and the breakfast offered a good choice of food. The restaurant was well run.
This time, the room had a nasty, damp, sickly odor. I had to keep the windows wide open all night and purchase an air freshener. the bed felt unstable as soon as i sat on it.
