"We only stayed one night here before heading for our cruise, but location was great and room had everything we needed and very comfortable. The only thing to me tion is thr parking. After booking, we received an email to confirm a parking space had been reserved for us. However when we arrived, we were charge £13 for it, which was not communicated. Also parking is at the rear of the hotel and can be difficult to manoeuvre as quite tight on space."
