i found parking at the sister pub across the street, very convenient. check-in proceeded smoothly, and the staff were friendly. my room offered all necessary amenities. i also appreciated the ample supply of towels available in the room.
the shower pressure was insufficient, and the toilet seat needed securing. the toilet roll holder detached several times, a minor inconvenience.
