Norman, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were excellent and always very friendly and willing to help. The room could do with a bit of a refresh, particularly the bathroom (a fair bit of mold and staining on the walls) but it was functional. Breakfast was disappointing. The tables felt crammed in and were difficult to navigate at times and the selection was limited. Bacon was like cardboard every day. Parking was decent value and our space was always available however the spaces have big pillars in them and not much room to negotiate so larger vehicles be aware of this. There is parking just down the road as well. Room facilities were good, with a fan, iron, TV and plenty of clean towels.
