Convenient and comfortable hotel for a night or two. Easy to park, good shower, comfortable beds and dog friendly, which ticks all of our boxes. We used the fitness center, which was a bit cramped (and the sauna was barely warm), but mostly we were out of the hotel and being tourists.

The hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and well serviced by the staff. The hotel as a whole would benefit from some refurbishment as some areas are a little old and dated. The tea and coffee making facilities are a very welcome after a long journey.

Very helpful staff, good amenities,had and food. Clean comfortable room in quiet location. Have stayed here a few times now and always good. One problem this time was the air conditioning unit. We didn't use it but in the night it made faint noises which at first I thought was the toilet cistern but was coming from the air con unit and it did disturb our sleep so have knocked a star off for that.
