The location is definitely a highlight. Free parking made everything much easier. The room was clean, and daily cleaning was provided. I found the staff were all happy and helpful.
The shower had a weak water flow. I noticed the noise from the main road at night. The chair in my room was also broken. The room overall felt a bit dated

The check-in process was simple. I found complimentary toiletries with a tea tray with various hot drinks and biscuits in my room. Extra pillows were available in the wardrobe. Free parking was available, a fantastic benefit. Breakfast included in my stay was fresh and tasty. The location of the hotel allowed me easy access to the main attractions.
The shower doors needed attention. I also found the room could use a touch-up to make it even more good.

The hotel is close to many facilities. I walked to them. This offers great convenience for accessing local attractions and shopping. The site has parking, so I didn't move the car all weekend.
