Fairly close to the airport, friendlly staff but my actual room was filthy. Horrible stench coming from bathroom drains. Dusty surfaces and dirty sofa. I wouldn't stay here again.

Not happy

When I booked the hotel, Hotels.com advised that parking was available and I got there they charged me £14.00 for the night advising that Hotels.com should have advised me on that which they did not. Staff were not friendly and they just handed the keys no other info. I had to ask for breakfast time, where restaurant was etc etc. The restaurant was located in the lobby which was not nice at all.
