Adequate
Pros:

The hotel is clean and presentable and suits my needs , l have stoppedbefore

Cons:

The cooked breakfast was only medioca. The majority was well done to say the least, probably due to the time spent in the ban Marie. In my view if breakfast is a 3 hour slot having food on the pass that long keeping warm can only reduce the quality. The bacon was hard along with the fried egg, the sausage and scrambled egg was tasteless. Also thebar prices where a bit steep.

Good value but very basic overnight stop.
Pros:

Big bed and fairly comfortable. Good TV

Cons:

Could do with more drawer space and larger beside units. Radiator was on full in June when we arrived. Breakfast was minimal and ran out and not replenished quickly either.
