Satisfactory Stay

efficient receptionist parking space train station helpful manager
The receptionist was very helpful and efficient. She got the keys to me quickly after I provided my name. The hotel has plenty of parking spaces and there is a nice pub close to the train station. The manager was friendly and willing to assist with anything I needed.
The sink was too shallow, made filling the kettle somewhat difficult.
