All additional charges mean it isn’t good value.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Breakfast no longer included. Our previous stay included a cooked breakfast. This is now chargeable. A light option is included. Full breakfast should be included for the price as still charging the same rates! Very disappointed! £10pp for breakfast and an additional £20 for parking. Makes the overall cost very prices. The rooms are getting dated. Signs of wear and tear in the bathroom.

Relaxing
Pros:

Although on-site parking is limited, there was sufficient for us to park on-site: very convenient.
Room was great: we were very fortunate to be given an upgrade to room 602.
All Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room lighting was surprisingly "dark".
Continental breakfast could have been improved with some cold meat like thin sliced hams, salamis etc. as is usually present in Italy , Spain.
