"Parking can be a bit of a nightmare if arriving during normal hours. The hotel itself meets all expectations of what you get at a budget-friendly, might want to take an extension lead no plugs near the bed only on the opposite wall. For example if you wanted to sit in bed with your phone on charge. The service station itself next to it is very limited to a burger king WH Smith Costa and noodle bar the breakfast bar is open in the morning but did not have this. So any form of healthy eating is that the window. But the views from the window counteract my previous statements"
