Average stay, expensive for what it is.

For £20-£30 more you’re better off staying at the Hilton round the corner.

Checked in around 21:00. No dramas, helpful staff. Payment for parking (discounted to £10 for hotel guests) made at a machine opposite. Plenty of parking available when we stayed, despite it not being a particularly large car park. Room was tiny for a family with the sofa bed out (smaller than a Premier Inn, for example), but we only stayed a few hours. Breakfast started at 04:00, so we were able to grab something, but it was very much just a croissant in a paper bag, so not ideal.
