Back again.

Great parking facilities, lots of room. Friendly, informative, efficient and most helpful receptionist, no delay checking in. Bar and waiting staff all appeared well trained and very courteous to the guests. The bedroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable, had a great sleep. The bathroom was very cramped, and found the shower difficult to adjust the water temperature, otherwise best described as adequate. Have stayed in the Ellison before and hope to do so again.
