Large comfortable rooms in impressive building
Pros:

Modern rooms connected to impressive hall. Larger than average room size with many facilities to use should you wish. Very comfortable beds and plenty of free onsite parking.

Cons:

The rooms are quite a long walk from reception so if you have heavy cases it’s worth checking whether it’s quicker to use the external entrance door.
