helpful receptionistshower curtainground floor location
The receptionist organized non feather bedding immediately because I needed it due to allergies.
The bathroom lacked a separate shower, so the floor flooded since there was only a shower curtain over the bath. My room was in a strange ground floor location, and I had to carry my cases up some stairs to reach it. It overlooked the car park, which wasn't ideal (I'm sure there were nicer views available). I didn't find the room good value for the price.

The location is very good. The room was very nice. There is limited parking at the hotel, but a parking lot is right next door.
On entry to the hotel the reception is tucked to the left. There was no sense of a welcome. The reception area has an empty entrance hall.
