    Small rooms with a view over the rear car park, quite honestly disappointing. Bathroom facilities good, plenty of towels but no shaving/makeup mirror.

    Hotel staff super is super nice. The first room we moved into had a broken heater, so they moved us into another. They moved our luggage for us and gave us a free breakfast one of the mornings. My only complaint is the building is old. However I highly recommend, especially for the price.
