Great location, food across the street nice clean and modern building and room, had to park in a local public carpark a street away then onto the road but street parking is free on the weekends. The bed was super uncomfortable and had a big dip in the middle of both sides and definitely needed upgrading but only stayed for 1 night. buffet breakfast was nice, not a massive selection but enough choices to satisfy.
