Ok for a night stop

The staff were very friendly, check in and out easy. The room was missing pillows and towels for the children (which I am sure we could have rectified easily however we were exhausted). The bed was very hard and it was so noisy from the road and dock we actually thought the window was open and therefore didn't sleep very well. The room itself was spacious and clean.
