Clean room, friendly staff and what you needed for a hotel room in a city. Breakfast isn't the best, food wasn't great and the hotel room had no view at all other than another building but bar these it was a good place to stay. Parking is opposite in a busy car park and then you have to walk across a very busy road, the lifts weren't working in car park so having luggage and children made this experience far from ideal, the hotel should have a drop off point or a few reserved parking spaces.
