Not bad, had a good nights rest.
Pros:

Room and bathroom were good. Staff good and helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast was not a true breakfast. This was merely a cup of tea and toast. Thy had some cereal but this could be a work on as it is an attraction and one of the reasons i decided to book here.

Agridulce por culpa de la información sesgada sobre aparcamiento en la calle
Pros:

Ubicación excelente , habitación amplia y confortable,amenities.

Cons:

La empleada con la que hicimos el check in ,el domingo sobre las 15:10 pm le preguntamos si había problema en dejar el coche aparcado en la calle. Nos dijo que no había ningún tipo de problema.SunInformación fue incorrecta e incompleta.Gratis era solo el domingo . El lunes teníamos una multa en el coche. Fue muy desagradable encontrarnos con este disgusto que era evitable si la empleada se hubiera molestado en responder correctamente dándonos información correcta y fiable .
