Always enjoy our stay.

Proximity, cleanliness and simplicity of checking in

Be nicer if the breakfast cereal, milk and fruit were in the room and you needn’t walk down to get it.

Good
Pros:

Convenience and comfy bed

Cons:

The car parking. We didn’t get a park when we got home at midnight. We only had 1 car and should have been able to park our car in a space. We had to use the disable park as nothing was left other than reversed. And we were told not to use the reversed parks.
