the location suited my needs perfectly, close to transport links. my standard single room had a kettle with tea and coffee. i found the front desk staff efficient upon arrival. parking was available at a reasonable cost for the area.

i noticed the shower didn't deliver hot water reliably in the mornings. i found the second set of towels hidden inside the wardrobe. clearly, the hotel could benefit from updating certain aspects.
