Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All of the staff throughout my stay were friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely it was in the courtyard part not in the main hotel. If you are a light sleeper ear plugs are a must as the walls are incredibly thin and you can hear people coughing and in the shower/bath. Car parking is interesting as one of them is very small and people do not know how to park properly. I would stay here again.

I stayed for work and instead of the single room booked ended up with a double room. Got there late and reception were friendly and helpful. Parking is plentiful but slightly away from the hotel.

Bathroom unit was in poor state due to water damage from bath / sink and should have been replaced. The bedroom was tired and needed refreshed.
