Convenient stay near the motorway
perfect locationclean roomgood parkingbrief stay
The location was PERFECT just off the M6. The parking area was GOOD and easy to access. The room I stayed in was clean. I was grateful it delivered on its promises for a brief overnight stay.
I noticed the heating operated on a schedule, which wasn't fully convenient for individual preferences.
