Pros:

Parking, I chose the hotel for access to and from the motorway and parking.

Cons:

I would have rated it much more highly but the shower water was boiling hot and I couldn't turn it down. I should have spoken to the friendly girl in reception but that was in another building, i was tired and wasn't sure what she could do. Next morning when I turned on it was cold so I jumped into the cold shower but when the hot water came through it was scalding hot again.
