Great for an overnight stay. We had a trailer in tow and it wasn't a problem. Secure on site parking
Pros:

Location isn't great bordering industrial area. The hotel was lovely. Room very clean and neat.
Only drawback no coffee or tea in room. There was a kettle and mugs and a bar fridge. If we had known I would have taken coffee etc with.
We were badly delayed on the way and the staff when we checked in at 12.45am wre wonderful. They calked us to see if everything was okay before we arrived.

Cons:

No coffee or tea in room.
