10/10 Excellent
"The staff from checking in to checking out were very friendly and helpful. The room we had was a nice size , as with all this type of hotel there is not enough draw space other than that it was more than adequate. Besides breakfast we ate in the restaurant twice , the food was nice cooked and tasty. The price was very good. The only complaint I had was having to pay for the car park because I booked through Expedia and welcome break.com"
