Loud music from neighbours outside of the hotel was the only fly in the ointment here but that is beyond their control and may have been a one-off. Shame as otherwise good value.

Only criticism is 2 teabags and no coffee? I know we could have asked for more but didn’t notice until we were ready for bed … so no early morning cuppa . Strangely 6 pkts of sugar though!

Very impressed that I could change a booking date due to an error, but it took time over the phone with Expedia. Desk staff very helpful and friendly. Disappointed that car parking was £8.50 for 24 hours where it is free parking in other local hotels. This was not highlighted in the booking or website. Shame as everything else was fine. No poached eggs option for breakfast which was otherwise good.
