"the hotel is in a good location, easy to find with good secure parking. The staff were efficient and helpful, and the room and shower etc were clean and comfortable. My only very minor gripe is the quality of the food - it was freshly cooked for me, but wasn't very good... I didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that. Would i stay again? Yes"
