10/10 Exceptional

A great central location for our quick break. The property is super clean and well maintained. The staff, including housekeeping, were friendly and professional. Although there isn’t parking allocated to each room, there were plenty of spots available. My only suggestion would be that the bathroom needs an exhaust fan (we stayed in room 111) as it took a long time to clear after a hot shower.
