A good stay

direct bus stopfull cooked breakfasthelpful staffconvenient fridge
The bus stop directly outside was so convenient. A full cooked breakfast was available with many options. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a very smooth check-in. I found a fridge in the room, a nice touch for storing drinks and snacks.
The parking charge seemed a little excessive, considering the amount of available space.
