some issues
stained teaspoonsinsufficient toilet roll
The room felt a little unclean. i noticed stained teaspoons and glasses. there was also only one toilet roll, which wasn't enough. the bathroom heater made the room too hot. We had to open the windows. but that didn't really help cool things down.

The location was acceptable.
The room was not clean. Mugs had old tea stains and a glass had lipstick marks. The bathroom heater was hot. It made the room unbearable even with windows open. Only one toilet roll was supplied, and it wasn't even new.

Central Location and Great Service

The location is very central and convenient. The staff were accommodating and helpful, particularly with directions to long-stay parking. I found a selection of tea and coffee in the room. I also received complimentary water and biscuits.
The climb up two flights of stairs was difficult for me.
