Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I was on the top floor so the water pressure for the shower was poor. Food was lovely: evening meal and hot breakfast. Right next to the railway line so if you are a light sleeper then take some ear plugs. Room was tired but clean. Bed was comfy. Small TV Ample parking. Would I stay again? Yes, but ask not to be on the top floor. Hopefully the shower is better on a lower floor.
