Really poorly designed shower. Space between shelf and shower glass was less than adult male shoulder width. Literally impossible to get under the water and clean yourself. And shower drained into the bathroom, the bathmat was soaked through in seconds. Might seem a small gripe but a good shower is the number reason for choosing to book accom on the road. Please move the shelf and correct the drainage. Otherwise the place was perfect.

Comments previously forwarded about check-in and parking. Concerned about manual taking of credit card details (apparently electronics out of order). Will know who to report to police if my account is scammed due to my details being forwarded on to others. Found food from previous occupants in freezer.

Very basic room, rude staff, no dining at night and very nasty “included” breakfast that was room service only with limited options, cold food, very low standard. Hard bed, lumpy pillows and inadequate heating. Would never stay at this place ever again.
