The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfy and clean. Although the bed had a noisy spring it was comfortable, but the shower stall was very small. Beware the stairs if you're on the third floor as we were! Parking was on side roads next to the hotel, but we never had trouble finding a space. Shops are within easy walking distance, and you are allowed to eat take-away meals in the dining room. When we go to meet up with our Royal Navy son again we will stay there again.
