Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was quite big for me and my two kids. It was very clean, too. Comfortable double beds and warm at night (speaking as someone who is always cold). The shower was powerful and there was plenty of lights, too. It would be nice to have a chair (or some sort of stool) in the bathroom. Overall, it was a decent stay. However, the room and the rest of the hotel's interior all looked outdated and in need of a number of modern updates. It felt as though we travelled back to the last century. The outside of the hotel doesn't look very tempting either. It was the last minute booking so not many options to choose from, but because of the aforementioned 'nuance' I will not be otherwise booking there again. One extra bonus is that there is free parking provided, which helped a lot.
