Nice enough on the surface - not worth what we spent
Pros:

The location of the Hotel itself was pretty nice. The staff seemed really friendly.

Cons:

Parking was an absolute nightmare, there were never any free spots to park so we had to spend an extra £24 to park local.

Breakfast was disappointing too, everything was over cooked.

From where we stayed (the lot next to the hotel itself) we could not connect to the WiFi the entire time which is also unfortunate.

Walls were really thin so we could hear everyone in the adjacent rooms all night.
