Pros:

Clean, modern hotel, Car parking outside, spacious rooms, good rain shower, good coffee machine in restaurant

Cons:

No outside seating area, no coffee making facilities in the room (instead there is a beam to cup one in the restaurant you can have as many as you like), toilet in room is badly positioned right up against side wall with toilet roll holder - all makes for a very tight and awkward sit!

Pros:

Nice room, comfortable stay, pretty quiet. Price was not bad.

Cons:

Location is not great if you are not traveling by car. I even think that it is dedicated to drivers, we were circling around to find an entrance. The lobby is crowed and not very inviting.

Pros:

Friendly staff, good breakfast, very clean

Cons:

Rooms not really sound proof. But then I guess because England were playing Panama. A fridge in the room would be good.
