Quality stay but disappointed about parking charge

I was staying on business trip and have stayed there previously but this time I was very disappointed to note that they are now charging for parking and other customers were complaining as on your site it implied free parking, sadly a way of making more money maybe to finance their investment in Electric Charging points

Breakfast was a let down due to allergies

Overall this hotel was good and lovely and clean. Was so close to le shuttle and that’s why we booked. We would stay again. However when it was breakfast time due to my allergies (dairy, wheat and egg) I literally could eat a hash brown, tomato, bacon, beans and gf toast. There were no alternative yoghurt to have with fruit. I will stay again but will pack myself something to eat for breakfast as I felt really let down. The others in my party loved the breakfast as there were a lot for them to have.

Pet friendly

Excellent if travelling with pets. Very pet friendly. All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was good. Room was clean. It would be better if there were green areas to walk your dog rather than just round the car park. Ideal for Le Shuttle.
