The breakfast offered a great choice of items. I enjoyed the full English. The hotel includes a pool, steam room, and sauna. All were very clean. The gym had good equipment. I definitely recommend this hotel.
My room faced the main road, and it was very noisy. The large windows would constantly knock due to the wind. the room temperature was too hot.
