"Having stayed here several time previously, I knew what to expect in the same room I had stayed twice before. I was warmly greeted by two ladies on reception who got me checked in. I decided not to have breakfast there as it was a little messed up last time. One of the ladies came out to show me where I could park in a packed area which I was grateful for. There was a good, functioning fan on a very warm day although the curtains were open and the windows closed which created a greenhouse atmosphere and I had to remedy immediately. I ate nearby, grabbed a quick shower and settled for a decent night's sleep despite the warm conditions. Always happy to stay here."
