Highly recommend
Very convenient location for the city, able to park the car with no issues and enjoyed a decent, well-priced drink while we waited to check in. Excellent service from the reception would let us check in slightly early at no extra cost. Room was clean, very comfy bed, powerful shower and a well stocked tea/coffee/refreshments selection. Breakfast was outstanding - fab selection of continental options, buffet or hot food to order at your table. We had the eggs royal, which were delicious and French toast. Very impressed overall, especially as such a reasonable rate for the room. Thanks for a lovely stay.
