surprising gem

clean bathroomnice bathfriendly staffhigh quality food
the room included a clean bathroom with a nice bath, it felt good. i found the staff very friendly, especially at breakfast time, they were so lovely. the food available was high quality. there was parking for about 20 cars at the hotel, it made things easy.
the window had an inside slide which caused a draft when closed, i noticed it. this meant i could hear street noise with cars all night, it was slightly disturbing.
Location

The hotel has parking for about twenty free spaces, it really helps when you have a car. public car parks are also close if the hotel parking is full. This offers additional parking solutions.
