helpful staff clean room quirky touches many stairs parking situation scratch card
the staff was lovely and helpful. the hotel and rooms are really clean. i loved the quirky finishing touches (they were amazing!).
there were a lot of stairs to climb and no lift. the parking situation was not good. street parking was available if i could find a space with a scratch card, costing six pounds from the hotel.
