The breakfast had many choices. I liked the cooked English breakfast. The room was spacious and clean (this is something I value). The hotel had a convenient car park. I had no trouble finding a space.

The bathroom fixtures looked a little old. Some rust was visible on the shower fittings. The television remote did not have batteries. The room carpet looked somewhat worn. I also noticed some stains on it.
