Nice big room
Family triples single bed was very comfortable(but some part of interior needs to be upgraded such of one of the basins taps was broken,and the bathroom ceiling had a removed spotlight dump marks)
on the 1st morning the breakfast was quite disappointing as receptionist said when the customers less the breakfast cooked by order that foods you can eat is very limited, but the 2nd morning we had buffet breakfast and that was far more satisfying than the first day,we enjoyed very much .

Not guaranteed a parking space
Specifically chose this hotel as it's one of few with car parking spaces. However there's not enough spaces for the amount of guests, and I didn't get one. The hotel itself was very good value for money. Good large room, large bed and large bathroom. Breakfast was your usual standard buffet. However we did have an evening meal and that was delicious. Highly recommend. Staff all pleasant and helpful also.
