Excellent quiality matress and bedding. Very comfortable and warm. The photo of the unit had 2 lamps on both sides but actually it was 1. Being exact to the photo helps to visualize your choice. But it was great.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely cooking and cleaning facilities. Parking facilities could be improved as were very tight and really only suited to a small car.

The property was exceedingly clean and neat Though the sheets werent changed at all during our stay. Towels were changed while we were out, but the new ones were simply dumped on the bed, and the dirty ones not even taken away. The cleaning staff also didnt close the room door properly so we came home to an unlocked room... not good given it had all of our personal items, laptops etc in there. We were also a bit disappointed by not being informed that we had to pay extra for parking. We deliberately searched for and selected this hotel on expedia, for its location and because we new we needed parking. Street parking is crowded in the area, so not really a viable reliable option. Staff are very casual if there at all and no will or power to address complaints. So would we come again... mmm hard to say really... If we had another event within walking distance and didnt need a car probably yes, otherwise almost certainly not
