free parking comfortable bed quiet room dated room poor tv slippery bathtub
the location was great i could easily find free parking the staff. the room was quiet despite being located above the pub it was also good value. the bed was comfortable and allowed for a good night's sleep.
the room felt a bit dated there were no drawers or a wardrobe which limited storage. the tv connection was poor it only worked a small percentage of the time. the bathroom lacked anti-slip protection in the bathtub this felt quite dangerous.
