Hotel and staff 5*, guests 1*

Lovely staff, lovely room, only thing that let the hotel down was the other guests who were noisy in the hallway, were rude dropping doors closed on a wheelchair user, or came to breakfast unwashed and wearing inappropriate nightwear. Perhaps the hotel management could consider a 'no service if wearing nightwear' rule?

Bed was comfortable but pillows were rock hard. Shower pressure and hot excellent. Biggest downfall was that you paid for parking per day. Dinner was reasonable price.
