The hotel offered clean and tidy but slightly dated rooms. My stay coincided with a warm day, making the room quite hot initially, but it got better. The service was polite and efficient, although a minor issue with utensil use. The location was convenient for accessing major roads, despite some noise concerns. The dining experience was enjoyable and well-cooked, with a slight limitation on Sunday options. Facilities were satisfactory, and overall, it provided good value for the money.
