"Enjoyed the stay, bed was nice n comfortable and a working tv . Just basic inside , carpet had and decor had seen better days , said to be gold standard, i'd say bronze at best. The hotel in general was nice . Parking is not the best and £10 a night , but i suppose it's safe though. A lot to offer if you want to keep spending and a tad expensive. Weather made the stay better."
