Generally a nice, clean, well-presented hotel.
Pros:

Generally a nice, clean, well-presented hotel. Staff were pleasant & professional and the food was decent. The room I had was spacious enough and the decor looked fresh throughout the hotel. Rooms had a few complimentary items that you don't always get in hotels of this type, so that was appreciated.

Cons:

Located near to a main road, so there is constant road noise (earplugs were provided). I had an issue with my shower- this was fixed before my second night, but did rather spoil my first morning! Something to be aware of for those with mobility issues perhaps is an awkward spiral staircase up to the rooms. Not sure if there are any ground floor options.
