8.8/10 Excellent! (860 reviews)
The room was spotless. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I would prefer a pot of tea rather than a hot water machine.

8.4/10 Very Good! (381 reviews)
Stayed here with my husband and 2 kids (5 and under). The room was spacious and clean. Parking was convenient. Breakfast had minimal items which was in line with expectations from past reviews (milk, cereal, porridge, bread, jam, coffee). My only issue was the shower, the way it is heated doesn't provide flexibility to get the temperature correct (3 settings of cold, luke warm, burning hot). We only stayed one night so it was fine.
