Good overnight hotel

Good stay here again - breakfast was hotter this time which was appreciated. Room comfortable and shower was good. I don't appreciate being charged £8 for parking which was previously free, but overall it's still an OK hotel for a business one-nighter.

I encourage the management to inspect the sofa and chairs in the rooms. Even if something is clean, if it looks dirty (due to stains, excessive stains) to the customer, it is dirty. Otherwise the property was fine.
