8.6/10 Excellent! (1,719 reviews)
A small room and the tiniest bathroom I’ve ever seen. AC didn’t seem to be working as with the room safe. Breakfast buffet poor; toaster not working, no cups for tea and coffee, hot items in short supply. Staff not attentive. £22 to park car overnight. Really poor value for money.
