Nice tidy and clean room, had everything we needed. Nice and quiet. Great location. Limited parking and took me a while to work out door systems. Just different to what I'm used to, never spoke to another person, just walked in and walked out without seeing anyone.

A great place to stay, bit of a hiccup on checkin as it was electronic and the code I was sent was wrong and then the system had dropped out, but a quick fix by Mark ( I think), parking instructions were a bit unclear but another quick fix, room was warm and comfortable only problem was we could hear the person in the room next to us snoring. Great facilities and would be a great place for a reunion. Would definitely stay again
