The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also good. I especially liked the buffet. It had a good variety. The room was clean, and that is important to me.
The air conditioning in my room did not work. (It was quite warm!) The hotel bar closed early at 10:00 PM. The on-site parking cost ÂŁ5 per night, unexpected.
