The room was clean and comfortable. We were a little worried having read the reviews but we found our room to be ok. The bathroom however was a bit grimey and the shower head did not stand once the shower was turned on. The bed was comfortable, hairdryer was good as was the iron.

It exceeded our expectation. Fully renovated. Our room was clean and well presented. Free breakfast. Helpful staff. Car parking is challenging when you have a bigger car but we managed to park with no issues as we arrived early and not many cars at the car park.

We had a free upgrade to a family room which they rang in advance to offer us, and waived the car parking which was lovely if them to do after we'd been driving for 10 hours. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. The hotel restaurant food and service was great.
