the staff were amazing from my arrival until the end. i checked in with a very kind lady. my room was amazing and very clean. the shower was nice and spacious, a great shower!
The fact that i had to pay £20 a night to park my car was a bit inconvenient! the mattress was hard. Maybe a softer option would be better.
