I and my wife had an amazing stay at this place. Nice clean rooms, incredibly comfortable. No room service but it wasn't required as such for an overnight stay. Definitely recommended for a short stay.

Great return visit
This was our second stay at this hotel. We booked again as we were so impressed with our first stay. They have lovely rooms, good parking and a good selection of food. All staff were pleasant and it was in a great location for the Tank museum which was the reason we stayed here. We will book to stay here again.
