Really good Service and Convenient Location

dietary optionsconvenient locationfree parking
The breakfast options accommodated my dietary needs. They were vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free. I felt safe eating all the food. The hotel is near shops and fast food, and it is also close to the motorway. Free parking made coming and going very simple.
The room showed some signs of wear.
Facilities

The swimming pool had very clear water and several lounge chairs around it. The gym featured three treadmills and two stationary bikes. All equipment was well-maintained, and towels were readily available, which was very useful.

the hotel's location proves advantageous. the room had a welcome chocolate treat in the fridge. i found the staff addressed every need with genuine care and the rooms also had good size. the restaurant offered very good food for dinner and breakfast.
i found this inconvenient, as it increased the distance to amenities. the coffee was not replenished in the room .

the breakfast service operated smoothly. a form was filled out to select items, specifying a time to eat and this system ensured prompt delivery. the restaurant served a good guinness at the bar, offering a perfect drink after a long day.
