I only stayed one night as a break in the middle of a long journey and really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable and the staff extremely helpful. They helped me with my luggage (I am disabled) and parking was great. The restaurant next door is very convenient, with a pleasant coffee area, and again the staff there are very helpful.
