Mainly good, breakfast experience let it down slightly.
Pros:

The room was fine, although we did have ants in the bathroom on our last day which I reported to reception. Breakfast could be great but was let down by staff not replenishing anything unless you asked and the coffee was tepid. The location is great as was the free parking, reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Breakfast, had to wait ages for a fried egg, danish pastries and anything else that ran out. Staff were friendly but not efficient at ensuring food was kept replenished and tables kept clear. Everything else was great.
