The hotel is in a good location as not far from the M5 and the park and ride for the city is opposite. Also close to restaurants. Good size car park. Really friendly and helpful staff, made us feel very welcome. Very comfortable and clean room. We would definitely stay here again.

It does the job

Breakfast ok, nothing special, but stops after 0930. Was late back from a local concert so 10am would be better on a weekday. Parking leaps from 8 hours to 24 hours so most people forced to take 24 hours even if the booking is 3pm to 11am next day. Took one of last 2 parking spaces when late back from concert.
