I cannot fault the staff. They worked so hard during the busiest or times, especially at breakfast when food was running out and people were impatient to wait their turn to be seated. The staff always had a smile on their face. I do think another one or two members of staff would be helpful. Hotel was clean and very welcoming. I begrudge having to pay for parking though in an out of town venue.

Easy access by car and bus to city centre. Very well organised from check in to self service breakfast and very pleasant staff.. We made the mistake of booking an accessable room (the first option offered) which I suspect was the reason for such limited desk space-will be more careful next time!
