lovely stay near the station

hot choices clean breakfast great quality
the breakfast was superb, with hot and warm choices available. the quality was great.. i found everything clean. we enjoyed the breakfast very much.
i found limited on-site parking, charged at £10 per night. the music from reception seemed to penetrate the floor into first floor rooms. constant chatter from smokers outside the room window disrupted the peace a bit.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

parking situation fresh towels
The staff was friendly and helpful .
The parking situation was not ideal. I had to park quite far from the hotel (this was inconvenient). The room wasn't cleaned automatically one day. I needed to ask for fresh towels. (That felt a little off.)
