Room was a good size and very clean, staff were very friendly. What I would say is if you don’t like to sleep in a hot room, turn the heated towel rail off immediately. There isn’t a switch as such, in my room there was a breaker switch at low level by the door. Besides that, the hotel is in a great location and plenty of parking.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very spacious and homely, it felt like a lounge only with a double bed. The bed was extremely comfortable and I also appreciated having a bathtub available. There was plenty of storage space for clothers and other items (lots of drawers there). The staff were friendly and welcoming with an easy check-in.
