Comfortable Hotel with Excellent Restaurant
attentive stafflarge car parkdistorted speaker
The room was clean and well-equipped. The in-house restaurant stands out with attentive staff and delicious food. Breakfast was lovely. The large car park was a real bonus to park the car.
Bottled water in the room would have been a bonus. I also noticed the TV speakers sounded distorted. Moving the curtain was needed to watch it.

I found free parking very convenient and easy. The hotel serves dinner and breakfast in a restaurant of a good quality. I am grateful for these amenities.
The shower had a really low water pressure. The water would stops for a few seconds sometimes. I didn't like this at all. I also did not like the main door was locked at midnight.
