Stayed one night, room was nice, bed comfy. Got an upgrade which was nice. Breaky was ok. Biggest turn off was how expensive the offsite parking was. Cost me more than the motel room!

The room was over heated but the staff kindly provided a fan would have been nice if shower had a hand held attachment also the bed could do with a topper as a little lumpy but still comfortable enough to sleep

Couldn't get to our room with the stairs. We were exhausted and fed up. Luckily, a very helpful member of staff changed our room to one without stairs. We even had a nice view and a walk in shower. We were very grateful.
