a warm welcome

central location comfortable bed
The location was very central. the room had a large tv, desk, and chairs i found good! tea and coffee were available, alongside bathroom supplies. It felt lovely. the beds provided comfortable sleep for both nights.
the hotel advertised parking! though it had a limited number of spaces in an awkward car park, so parking was hard to get. if full, i could use the local ncp, but that added unexpected costs to my stay.
