the staff seemed fine, they gave me what i needed with no issues.
i found a long walk to the room i got, they didn't tell me which way was best. my knee isn't great, so that long walk really hurt. i think a clearer way to get to the room would have been good.

The staff was helpful. They were always ready to assist, so I really appreciated this. The hotel had a nice, open car park. This made parking simple. The room was quiet, so I slept well.
The coffee machine was far from where the breakfast items are placed. It would be more convenient if these were situated next to each other.
