Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' score sits at 6/10, with some guests noting basic decor and occasional cleaning lapses during busy periods.
- Paid parking nearby — Parking is available but comes with a charge, and the car park is a short walk from the hotel rather than on-site.
- Breakfast can get busy — At peak times, breakfast service may feel rushed, with tables not cleared promptly—a point one guest raised.
