Parking within the complex is very safe and secure. Staff are always friendly and helpfull. Rooms are a decent size with a sink which is a bonus. Its a busy little area so some noise is to be expected when you book in but its never intruding on sleep time that I have experienced. Have stayed here many times a year since 2013 and always go back.
