The room included a mini fridge that i used to store milk. i found the check-in process easy, and the staff were really informative. the room size was generous and the shower was warm, it was very pleasant after a long day. parking was ample. I had no trouble finding a space.
I noticed some old glazing on the windows. The noise from the nearby motorway was audible, though not too distracting.
