the street parking permit saved me a ton of money, and i always found a spot right near the hotel. the full english breakfast was consistently delicious every morning. I'm even buying the same coffee for home! i loved being able to keep my drinks cold in the lounge fridge, and glasses were available for use.

Adequate Stay with Some Drawbacks

small bathroom faded curtains
I found the bathroom to be quite small relative to the room size. I expected more space. The decor was generally worn, especially the curtains. They were quite old and faded. The lack of on-site bar facilities was also a disappointment, especially given that a bar was advertised.
