Repeat Stay Definite

cute staffspacious roomgreat location
Staff were very cute. I received a different room early. My kids needed a break. The room felt spacious. It was a place to sit and write a book. The location has great benefits. I enjoyed easy access to shops, food and other things. It was very good for kids legs. Parking was on site.
Workers began early with heavy machinery. Sleeping was impossible. A wagon being unloaded blocked the exit. I waited 30 minutes while it was unloaded.

Solid Hotel Experience

The hotel has a very convenient underground carpark. Its price was £8 per day. The bar area provided a decent selection of beverages. The staff were friendly and helpful.
There were no sockets beside the beds. This made using a fan difficult. The room was warm.
