Good
Pros:

Good location, nice outlook. I appreciated them accommodating my ground floor room request.

Cons:

I thought the breakfast would have had a bit more to it for the price of it. I expected a cooked breakfast for that price

Pros:

Usual friendly welcome, clean, well equipped room, even had a little table / desk with its own independent light, where I could do some work, as opposed to having to sit on a chair or the bed with the laptop on my lap. Good choice of places to eat nearby, great park and recreational areas on the doorstep..

Cons:

Not a dislike as such, but some of the smaller car parks, which allow you to park directly outside your room, test your driving / parking skills, so be prepared. Plenty of easy parking instead if you prefer. Again, not a dislike.

Pros:

Hi

The room was tidy. The bathroom was spacious.

Cons:

The car park was close to our room but someone took it after we went out. So we ended up parking on the street. The breakfast was not value for money.
