Ok for overnight stay

Pros: Room was fine had all the amenities required for an overnight stay. Breakfast was busy but plenty of food available.

Cons: Make sure you pay for your parking as even if you are staying overnight at the hotel you have to pay. Unfortunately the reception will not remind you of this even though you register your car details with them.
