Easy parking and location. My room wasn't totally clean but the staff were quick to help and put me in a clean room. Breakfast pretty standard, overall decent stay nothing special but also nothing wrong at all. Wifi only appears to work in the restaurant not in rooms.

WiFi not useable, the water pressure in the shower (room 52) is shocking. Better off taking your shower gel out in the rain. Can hear every single thing that happens in the other rooms.

The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Only downside was toilet didn't flush so had to use a bin of water each time to 'flush' the toilet, which was awful.
