A clean and well-maintained hotel with great shower facilities and plenty of convenient parking.
Pros:

The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, and the shower facilities were excellent. There was also plenty of parking available, which was very convenient for guests staying at the hotel.

Cons:

The lack of elevators made it difficult to carry heavy luggage through the main entrance. It would have been helpful if the staff had mentioned that the garden-facing rooms could also be accessed from the rear via the car park, which would have made transporting luggage much easier.

I thought it was a little expensive.
