Really fantastic experience

fabulous restaurant excellent service helpful advice

I found a fabulous restaurant each evening. Wow, the food was very nice, the price was great, and service was excellent. A special thank you goes to David, the night porter. He gave helpful advice from the marathon course. The staff was excellent, as was the breakfast. I would stay here again if returning to the area.

The minimal car parking spaces are a let down, though a pay and display car park behind exists.

The hotel features accessible parking at the back. I observed vending machines stocked with drinks on the ground floor. This offers additional convenience. A lift provided access to upper floors. That is useful!

Rooms

The room came clean and tidy, and the towels were changed daily. I found this to be a plus. Tea and coffee facilities were in the room. This allowed for quick refreshment. A hairdryer was available upon request from reception. Good to know.
