Great stop-over

It was a very neat, clean, friendly hotel with everything needed including great parking. Do ask for a ground floor room if any mobility problems. Staff were amazing as was the breakfast!

My only negative was we had a room that could sleep 4 people, but only had 1 chair. We didn't need more chairs but if we had 4 people it would have been a problem.
