Comfortable

I can’t fault the service and facilities. The bed was comfortable and the buffet breakfast was a nice touch. My concern was the cleanliness. Room could do with a thorough cleaning.
Fridge shelves not wiped down
Door signage had something growing on it
Carpet needs a thorough vacuum
Floor had wine and sticky stains

The stay was okay- bed was two singles to make king with noticeable dip in the middle. Breakfast was average with apple juice watered down significantly on day 2. Access was difficult with people staying much longer in 10 min bays

Wouldn't stay again

To start with a positive the staff were lovely. That is where the positives end. When it says parking available, unless you pre book, there is no parking. Street parking is very very limited, their is paid public parking, but that is only good if you don't want to come and go. One of our pillow cases had stains when we checked into the room and while I was showing part of the shower just fell off. The free breakfast leaves much to be desired. It appears the hotel was very busy. Breakfast started at 7am, and by 8am there was very little food left. They did refill the hot food but cold breakfast wasnt refilled. The curtains are not block out curtains, so don't expect a sleep on. For the price, I would stay somewhere else
