+ Breakfast was very good, welcome was friendly, room was a good size ( though for some reason I was in a disabled room, which I do not need, so bathroom was a bit odd from my perspective!).
− Difficult to find a parking space, which was unexpected. There was a connecting door to next door room which was not great - it was locked but sound carried through it. Bed was hard! Hallway carpets very worn.
