Great hotel and staff The only thing can be improved probably to have a better deal for parking at next door car park. Paid 16.5 for overnight car park. You pay from arrival until 4am, then pay for another day. So kinda of 2 days parking fee when essentially you stay just over night. (If I understood correctly) But I understand this is out of control of hotel as it doesn’t own the car park. Overall a great stay.
