8/10 Good
"It's a lovely hotel and the front desk and cleaning staff are all super helpful and friendly. Our room was very comfortable and for the most part clean (just some neglected spots were dusty). But bed sheets and bathroom were spotless! The tea and coffee making facilities were excellent and replenished every day- we were big fans of the coffee pod machine. Our room had an interesting layout in that the entry door opens up into the bathroom but it didn't bother us. The parking was why we picked it and that was really handy. The thing that let the stay down was the "filtered" water bottle, had a mouldy cap and so the water tasted mouldy, but I realised this only after having a cup to drink. Otherwise everything else was great and would stay again."

"Rooms are comfortable, food is fine . Location is out of town so you will need either taxi or car to travel to the city. No leisure facilities or pool. Web site hides this well. There is a third party company 5 mins away but you do have to pay and book. All a little mad"
