The room was neat. it had tea and coffee making facilities. the breakfast buffet included cooked options, cereals, toast, and fruit. staff were polite, and they quickly phoned a taxi for me to reach the train station on my departure. i appreciated the offered packed lunches. It cost me only £4.50.
the room was okay, but i noticed many levels and steps throughout the hotel. it was a bit difficult to navigate. it might be challenging with mobility issues.
