A very pleasant and comfortable overnight stay
Pros:

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room had been upgraded and was spacious and comfortable. The shower was easy to use and we had robes and slippers which was great.
We didn’t have dinner but breakfast was well cooked and tasty. The lounge and bar area was pleasant.
Parking was easy and free.

Cons:

Our room whilst very good was too warm for me, but the traffic was noisy so I only opened the window for a few minutes. There was a fan that I could have used, which makes being too warm my problem really!
