Excellent place to stay for a short break
Pros:

The breakfast is exceptional , cooked to order and good choice. The room air conditioned so you could set the room temperature to suit , Bed very comfortable . The sink in the bathroom is a little on the small side. Hubby said it wants great if you wet shave like he does. WiFi was adequate. A couple of things could have been cleaner. E.g there was a hand print on the bathroom wall and the overflow outlet was dirty.

Cons:

We didn’t like that these isn’t any wardrobe or drawers in the room. There is a hanging rail with hangers provided.

Comfortable midweek stay
Pros:

People checking me in were helpful and friendly. Room was nice, clean and good size. I felt safe and comfortable. Free parking with lots of spaces available. I booked mid week but it seemed quiet and it was easy for me to get where I needed to be at work the next morning.

Cons:

The bathroom was slightly dated but everything worked well.

Very good stay
Pros:

Food was excellent and location was good, second time of staying rooms good size with good coffee bags - unusual for a hotel. Staff were very good and service was quick, we were a party of 10 with no wait for food.

Cons:

Entry into the hotel was nice and clean and well decorated, the rooms however are looking at little worse for wear. The bathroom we had, had a panel loose and an empty shower gel container. Just needs a little more attention to detail and it would be excellent.

The pillows are extremely soft, although there is a spare they just don't support your head, not very comfortable.
