a quiet and clean stay

helpful staffquiet roomfresh fruitthin toilet paper
Liam was helpful at the front desk, a real pleasure to interact with. the room was very quiet and also very clean. breakfast included a good selection. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit (it tasted so juicy!). housekeeping was polite, the room remained tidy.
The room felt a little tight with the beds made up. Navigating around the furniture proved tricky (especially with the extra bed). i found the toilet paper to be quite thin. I had to use more than usual.
Dining

The breakfast area offers a variety of top brand cereals, yogurts, and fresh fruit. A hot selection of cumberland sausages, bacon, scrambled egg, and beans completes the offering (a hearty start!). heinz ketchup and hp sauce are available.
Rooms

The room had good quality shampoo, body wash, and hand wash by dove. These amenities provided a touch of luxury. the bed, i believe, was a comfortable double. I slept soundly. an open rail served as a wardrobe.
Location

The hotel provides free parking to all the guests. I could rest assured about leaving my car. the location near the a1 was convenient for my overnight stop. It made travel easy.

the room was clean (i noticed that immediately). the price seemed fair, and it matched my expectations. the free parking was a definite plus, and it provided easy access to nearby restaurants.
The shower had a step and lacked a seat. This was not ideal. the toilet also did not have assistance bars, which could be problematic for some guests.
