Was lucky enough to get parking - which was a surprise as I had been told there was none so wasted a bit of money on a public car park for a while beforehand. Would be really nice to be able book a spot in advance. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. Didn’t pay for the continental breakfast as wanted a full breakfast so ate elsewhere.
