    Huge rooms

    Huge rooms with nice seating area where you relax and watch tv. Bed comfortable and mice linen. Nice decor but noisy heavy doors which start banging away early in the morning as people begin to get up.

    Hello Chimp, I am very disappointed to hear your check in was not up to standard. Normally this is an area of strength. Which day and time did you check in so that I may follow up more?

    Highly Recommended

    Stayed a night here, and found the room comfortable and clean. Lovely bathrrom, with a great shower. As I was travelling on my own, I ordered room service, which arrived very fast, and was a lovely meal. Car park at H&J's just across the road.
