"Stayed in a twin room, good sized beds which were comfortable with a choice of pillows. Hotel was clean and there was a good choice at breakfast. Wasn’t keen on the parking payment machine being outside the entrance. It took a few minutes to use and you can get quite chilly in the process. It would be much better if it was in the lobby."
